A lonely man, subjected to extreme temperatures and cut off from all human contact ... The scene is not taken from a film but is that of a real rescue that took place in Alaska, last week. Tyson Steele stayed in the polar cold for 23 days, at temperatures close to -20 ° C. In mid-December, the 30's cabin caught fire, killing his dog and leaving him alone in his pajamas. The American survived thanks to cans and a makeshift shelter he built. The young man drew a huge SOS in the snow using ashes, which enabled the Alaska State Troopers to locate him. He was found Thursday, unharmed. Taylor Steele had been living in a cabin since September 30 km from the nearest village. His fate happier than that of Christopher McCandless, hero of the book and the film "Into the Wild", found dead in Alaska in 1992 after having voluntarily ventured into an uninhabited area.
