A British mountaineer is seriously ill in hospital and has had to have his leg amputated after a climbing accident in Argentina.
The 32-year-old also suffered a fractured skull in the accident on 22,837ft Mount Aconcagua, the highest outside Asia.
The unnamed Brit reportedly fell near Condor's Nest, the site of a high base camp, when he was at just over 20,000 feet.
He was evacuated by helicopter before being driven to Hospital Central in the western Argentinian city of Mendoza by an ambulance with a police escort to speed up his arrival.
