RESOLUTE BAY (Canada). The Scot Dave Mill (34) wanted to be first humans, who reach the north pole alone to foot. But the weather brought it in danger to life. until a Urner pilot saved it from white hell. Already twice Mill tried to reach to foot and without assistance the north pole. With the third attempt it had already put 300 back that nearly 700 kilometers. At temperatures of up to minus 30 degrees. sometimes even of polar bears pursues. Its equipment carried along the Scot in a carriage, which was at the same time a small boat. In 54 march days in the eternal ice the young adventurer lost nearly 20 Kilos weight. But on Sunday it had to give up. the weather was too bad. On the ice Mill danger to life threatened: Everywhere fallow it up, tides it on a scholle between icebergs would have pushed. There each rescue would have become impossible. By satellite telephone Mill rescue requested, transmitted also equal a picture its position. A Urner decided to dare the risky 16-Stunden-Flug for Mill: Karl Zberg (63). The pilot born in Silenen UR applies with nearly 30,000 flying hours and over 25 north pole landings as one of the most experienced men the Canadian "roofridge air". With its eight tons heavy DeHavilland twin Otter he found Mill in the ice. and frightened it nearly to death. "it touched my tent" during the approach, thus Mill. But the nerve-strong pilot is as good "as Michael Schumacher". correctly gently it set the machine on the ice. And Zberg had thought of everything: It brought even cheese tomato Sandwiches to the exhausted adventurer along and made for it thereby a giant joy. "then he, I said was to go to Mill for the flight better on the rear seat", remember schmunzelnd. "because I did not bathe nevertheless seven weeks long."
