Wow that is cool, he might think twice before getting into a situation like that again.

"the man used a pocket flashlight to send signals of his presence on the vast frozen surface. Luckily, a woman located hundreds of kilometers away spotted the camera flashes "

soooo.... did he use pocket flashlight or camera flashed light?????

Wait, he didn't use his iPhone 3GS? Why use a webcam instead? Steve told all of us that the iPhone is more awesome...I don't understand.

Maybe next time he'll remember his GPS.

Maybe next time he'll remember to not be an idiot and use the sun's position to calculate which direction he must walk in.

This guy was a moron for getting lost.

Wow, I think I would have been better to read only the name of the story. The body made no sense at all. I'm even more confused as to how a man's webcam saved his life.

It wasnt his webcam. It was the tourist boards webcam. The woman spotted him on it.

LOL I admit it could have been written better, but he did not use the webcam, if you read carefully, she was on her computer logged in to one of those webcams that you can access from the internet and she saw the video feed of the flashlight signals, so he was using old signaling technology with a flashlight and she spotted him while using the new technology LOL

And let's not forget to thank Al Gore, inventor of the internet.

Ignoring stupidity, it was still an interesting event.

What a stupid article, badly written and miss leading... someone was looking over him though...

Wow, who knew there could be positive situations to having millions of webcams watching your every moves all over the world...

 

[gogogojason]

I find it amazing, because i read this story, and he was 550km away!

 

[sliem]

What's a tourist doing in a dangerous place ALONE without a GUIDE?
Still, nice save. Hope he learns his lesson.

Why don't they just edit the article to something like

"a woman located hundreds of kilometers away spotted the flash light signals as she too was watching the sunset remotely via the tourism board's webcam"

"Being left to his own devices, the man used a pocket flashlight to send signals of his presence on the vast frozen surface. Luckily, a woman located hundreds of kilometers away spotted the camera flashes as she too was watching the sunset remotely via the tourism board's webcam."


That must be one powerful camera that some can see it hundreds of kilometers away through a webcam.
