Survivors of a deadly snowstorm in Patagonia, including British woman Victoria Bond, have criticized Chilean authorities for lack of help during the tragedy. Christian Aldridge, part of Ms. Bond's group, stated they had to organize their own search mission. Despite harsh conditions, inadequate aid from park staff left survivors feeling abandoned. The Chilean Forestry Corporation is investigating potential liability but survivors are left questioning the lack of assistance during the crisis.
