Spent over 11 hours in -10 degree temperatures
6 Irish men, who were stranded on Sweden's highest mountain in freezing temperatures, are said to be doing well after their rescue.
The group of tourists raised the alarm at around 9:30pm, last night, as they started to descend from Kebnekaise.
The majority of the group were wearing shorts and t-shirts.
They spent over 11 hours on the mountain in -10 degree temperatures.
A helicopter rescue crew brought them to safety shortly before 8am this morning, once conditions cleared.
Rickard Svedjesten, President of Sweden's Mountain Rescue Organisation, says the men are doing well:
