A tourist from the Czech Republic, whose partner fell to his death, survived a harrowing month in the frozen New Zealand wilderness before being rescued, police said Thursday. The woman was found Wednesday living in a park warden's hut on the snowed-in Routeburn Track, Inspector Olaf Jensen told reporters. He said the young couple left July 26 to hike the 32-kilometre track, a route which typically takes three days. The Routeburn Track on New Zealand's South Island, seen here in April 2014, is popular with tourists during the Southern Hemisphere summer. Richard Forbes, the president of the Otago Tramping and Mountaineering Club, said he was with a group of hikers that went to the Routeburn Track last weekend.
