Rescue by E-mail

BlameFate writes: "This neat article over at The Scotsman tells of a guy trying to be the first person to walk to the north pole solo. He got marooned and needed rescuing though, so how did he co-ordinate the rescue attempt? Why, by making a 400m runway in the snow taking a digital photo of it and then e-mailing the photo to the rescue team in Canada of course! The Scotsman is short on details; but BBC News is out for me right now."
