The three surviving members of a Russian tour group stranded in freezing winds on Eurasia's highest active volcano were rescued on Tuesday, the regional emergency ministry said, after nine died on their way to the summit.
The party of 12, which included two guides, set off a week ago to climb Klyuchevskaya Sopka, a 4,754-metre (15,597-feet) peak on Kamchatka in Russia's far east.
