The Iceman Returneth: Survivor to Visit Cave
A man who survived 43 days lost in the Himalayas with just two candy bars to eat wants to return and spend a night with his bride in the snowy cave where he nearly died.
Australian James Scott was nicknamed “the Iceman” by the media after his ordeal earlier this year. The 23-year-old medical student became lost in a blizzard while on a trek in Nepal. After his rescue Feb. 3, he spent months hospitalized for malnutrition.
Scott married his sweetheart, Gaye, in June. He says he plans to revisit Nepal soon with her.
“We’d be sitting up there with a fire and with food and all that. It would be completely different to how things were last time.”
