Two Kiwis Stuck on Solomon Island Peak | Sydney News

Two Kiwi adventurers, Keanu Isaksson and Luca Zylstra, found themselves stranded for six days atop Mount Popomanaseu in the Solomon Islands after a brutal climb turned into a survival ordeal. With guides unable to accompany them down due to tribal restrictions and torrential rain making descent impossible, they camped out at 1,828 meters—nearly halfway up the 2,300-meter peak. When rescue finally arrived via helicopter, they had to cut trees to create space for a cargo net drop, showcasing grit and resourcefulness. After being flown back to Honiara, they emerged shaken but safe, having traded adventure for a harrowing real-life test of endurance.
