Описание: -71°C Deadly Blizzard | A Lost Reindeer Calf's Last Hope — Then This 72-Year-Old Woman Heard Her Crying

It was 10:30 PM. A deadly blizzard was raging outside at -71°C (-96°F). Whiteout conditions. Zero visibility. The kind of storm that kills even experienced people.

Then I heard crying. Faint. Almost impossible to hear over the wind. A small animal was dying out there in the storm.

I'm Elena. I'm 72 years old. Everyone would say going outside in those conditions was insane. Reckless. But I couldn't leave that animal to die alone in the darkness.

I tied a rope around my waist. Tied the other end to my cabin door. My only lifeline. I stepped into the blizzard. The wind hit like a physical attack. I could see nothing. Just white chaos. -71°C with wind chill felt like -85°C or colder.

I searched blindly for 20 minutes. At my age, in those conditions, I was at the limit of what my body could survive. Then I found her. A reindeer calf. Maybe 3 weeks old. Covered in ice. Shivering violently. Eyes half-closed. Minutes from death.

I carried her back through the storm. Both of us barely surviving. Inside, I worked for hours warming her slowly. She was so close to gone. But by dawn, she opened her eyes. She wanted to live.

One week later, she's healthy, playful, and has become part of my family. Three Huskies, one Arctic fox, one cat, and now one reindeer calf. Six rescued animals and one 72-year-old woman surviving together at -71°C.

Was it dangerous? Yes. Was it worth it? Every single second.

This is Zarja. The reindeer who survived the deadly blizzard. And this is how far I'll go to save a life.
