It became known about the possibility of an employee stuck at a weather station to go without food.

An employee of the highest mountain weather station in Russia and Europe, Sulak Vysokogornaya, who was stuck alone, may be left without food. Magomed Magomedov, the head of the meteorological station, said this in an interview with Izvestia.

According to him, a helicopter will take off early in the morning for rescue. If the employee could not be evacuated due to the weather conditions, he asked to "transfer a bag of flour and diesel fuel."

"Going down and up is very avalanche-prone. It's not possible at all. There's no way," Magomedov said.
