He spent more than seven days in the Chuka forest near Mount Kenya, but Kenyan Wildlife Services helicopter pilot Major Solomon Nyanjui has been found and is recovering from injuries that resulted from the crash and the subsequent week he spent without eating, the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation is reporting. As a trained soldier and one of the country's best helicopter pilots, Nyanjui knew not to leave the crash site, but the dense jungle and poor weather conditions affected rescue efforts.

Also rescued today were more than 100 passengers and the full crew of the Canadian cruise ship, M/S Explorer off the coast of King George Island near Antarctica. A Norwegian passenger ship located five hours away from the listing cruise ship answered the Explorer's distress call early this morning and successfully rescued the entire crew and all the passengers from the Explorer's lifeboats. CNN reports that a company spokesperson for the Explorer's owner, G.A.P. Adventures, denied earlier reports that the nearly 40-year-old ship hit an iceberg, claiming instead that it ran into a, "submerged piece of ice."
