On October 13th, 1972, Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, carrying a rugby team along with their families and friends, crashed into the Andes after a fatal miscalculation, breaking apart and killing many on impact. The survivors, stranded on a glacier with no food, water, or supplies, endured brutal cold, avalanches, and the loss of loved ones while waiting for a rescue that never came, and were ultimately forced to do the unthinkable to stay alive. They reached safety only after seventy-two days. In Society of the Snow, journalist Pablo Vierci draws on exclusive interviews to tell the intimate stories of the sixteen survivors, exploring how the tragedy reshaped their lives and celebrating the power of faith, friendship, and human resilience.
