The people from the rescue team who have been searching for Bulgarian mountaineer Boyan Petrov under Shishapangma peak in the Himalayas have started the search operation between camps 3 and 2, the Bulgarian National Radio learned from Boyan Petrov’s team. On Sunday the rescuers found Boyan’s T-shirt and insulin pump on their way to Shishapangma. The former chairman of the Bulgarian Association for Alternative Tourism Lyubomir Popyordanov told the BNR that Shishapangma was very dangerous and that 21 mountaineers lost their lives there. We must be realistic and should not expect any wonder, Mr Popyordanov added.
