The two New Zealand men stranded on a remote mountain in the Solomon Islands have been rescued.<\/p>\n
Solomon Islands Police have confirmed that Keanu Isaksson, 25, and Luca Zylstra-Law, 19, were found together this morning.<\/p>\n
The pair had been trapped in a ravine on Mount Popomanaseu, the country’s highest peak (standing at an elevation of 2335 metres or 7661 feet), after torrential rain.<\/p>\n
“FANTASTIC NEWS!! (grinning face emojis). New pilot today… boys have felled a tree from previous gear drop and chopper was able to net them out. Halleluyah!,” Isaksson’s mother Denise Holl wrote in a Facebook post on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Earlier, the Solomon Islands government told RNZ Pacific that local authorities were working to rescue the pair.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The two New Zealand men stranded on a remote mountain in the Solomon Islands have been rescued.
