Russian jumps into record books from Antarctic mountain

 

Russian dare-devil Valery Rozov has become the first person to BASE jump from Antarctica’s Mount Ulve Tanna.

Rozov, along with climbing colleague Aleksandr Ruchkin and photographer Thomas Senf, needed two weeks of preparations at BASE camp before climbing up the mountain, where temperatures fell to -30C.

Yet, that was the relatively easy part of Rozov's mission. The real challenge lay in his descent from the mountain.

Wearing his wingsuit, Rozov took a death-defying jump off the 3000 meter peak, gliding around the mountains for 45 seconds, before pulling the chord on his parachute and landing safely.

The achievement firmly puts Rogov’s name in the history of BASE-jumping.  BASE is an acronym that stands for the four categories of fixed objects from which one can jump – buildings, antennae, spans and earth.

Katia Zatuliveter Suspected As A Russian Spy, She Denies The Claim

 Katia Zatuliveter, who worked under British MP Mike Hancock is arrested and facing deportation as she is suspected of being a Russian spy. A House of Commons Defense Committee’s member announced the news to the media. On the other hand Mike Hancock said that he was unaware of the fact that the security services had suspected her until she was detained.

A reputed media source reported that Home Secretary Theresa May has already approved of her detention and it will be executed in few days. The Home office has declined to comment anything about this issue and said that they would not comment on individual issue. Mike Hancock said that Katia Zatuliveter is not a Russian spy and he does not know about the “espionage”. However, the MP confirmed that she has been subjected to a deportation order. Mike Hancock said that his aide is appealing to the court as she feels that she has not done anything wrong. He said that the whole thing now rests on Katia Zatuliveter’s lawyers and they will handle the case. Mike Hancock said that his assistant was not involved in the internal issue of the work. However, according to MI5 she will be deported as her presence is conducive to the national security.

Mike Hancock said that his assistant was ambitious and she wanted to prosper in her life and go further than to work under an MP in the House of Commons. Her father Andrei Zatuliveter said that his daughter is presently in a state of shock and as she has no idea of the things happening to her. Some gossip sites reported that Katia Zatuliveter is suspected of working under SVR, which is the foreign intelligence in Russia.
