Tourist swept away on Arctic river during 'bucket list' trip

A 'bucket list' trip to Russia's extreme north ended in tragedy after a 57-year-old tourist was carried away by a strong current as she went ice floating. The unnamed woman from Belarus vanished during a group session floating on the Tuloma River in the Arctic town of Kola, south of Murmansk, during New Year's Day celebrations. Search teams have been battling thick fog, bone-cracking -30C frost and near-total darkness during the region's polar night, when the sun does not rise above the horizon.
