Natalia Martinez, who began a solo traverse of 5,959-metre Mount Logan in the Yukon late last month, was at an elevation of about 3,900 metres when a 6.2-magnitude earthquake hit Yukon and Alaska on Monday , sending snow and glacial ice crashing down around her camp. A few hours later, the mountain was rattled by a second earthquake of magnitude 6.3 along with several aftershocks. Martinez ensconced in her tent about 135 miles from the earthquakes epicentre was unscathed by the avalanches triggered by the quakes, but left stranded. A message posted on the ExpeNews website popular with climbers said Martinez was rescued on Thursday night. ExpeNews said a pilot with the charter service Icefield Discovery had noticed an improvement in weather conditions and alerted a rescue team. The website said Martinez was taken to the Icefield Discovery base in Kluane Lake. Pinterest Martinez on the summit of Mount Malaspina on the Saint Elias Mountains of Yukon.

He described Martinez as a highly accomplished climber whose experiences in Patagonia had readied her for heavy winds and extreme cold. Shes used to really serious weather in Patagonia, she had been through a number of storms and she knows what to do. But that doesnt mean its easy its very tiring, especially if you have to do it alone, he said. Rada, who was in regular contact with Martinez via satellite phone from his home in British Columbia, said the 37-year-old was in her tent on Monday morning when she heard what she described as a tremendous roar. She didnt know it was an earthquake.
