Experienced Czech polar explorer and traveler Miroslav Jakeš (75 years old) tragically died in the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard. The man fell into a crevasse in the Skilfonna glacier in the south of the Arctic archipelago. His death was confirmed on Friday by the office of the Governor of Svalbard after a three-day search by rescuers. pravda.sk ↗ ta3.com ↗
Jakeš was known for his extraordinary adventures and experience. In 1993 he became the first Czech to reach the North Pole, and over the course of his rich career he visited this location as many as nineteen times. Alongside his polar expeditions, he also conquered other peaks around the world. During one of his first expeditions to the highest mountain in America, he nearly suffered a serious leg injury when he got frostbite on five toes. pluska.sk ↗ hnonline.sk ↗
The senior polar explorer celebrated his 75th birthday at the end of March during an expedition to Svalbard. A few days later he failed to return from his journey and was reported missing. Rescuers then searched for him intensively until they found his body in the Skilfonna glacier crevasse. Friends in the community remember him as a "kind adventurer" and a great solo traveler. According to observers, Jakeš's life would deserve a feature film. pravda.sk ↗
