Surviving Arctic crash and polar bears

Available for over a year

Sergey Ananov is a Russian pilot who was attempting to become the first person to fly around the world in a light helicopter, weighing less than one tonne. But the record journey went dramatically wrong near the Arctic Circle, and he had to ditch into the ice cold sea just off Baffin Island in Canada. He told Outlook's Jo Fidgen about the moment he realised there was something wrong with his helicopter. (Image: Sergey Ananov in Robinson R22 Helicopter. Image copyright: Sergey Ananov)
