Trapped in the snow

Bob and Ian are professional climbers. This short story is about an incident <s>which was</s> that happened in 2008 in Antarctica.

Bob and Ian started their trip to the South pole when the weather was good and silent. The sun was shining and a light wind was blowing.

It was 70 miles to the target when they decided to make a camp. Bob made <s>an</s> instant soup and Ian melted snow to <s>got</s> get some water <s>for</s> to drink. When they had eaten and rested they dismantled the camp and went on.

The weather suddenly changed. The wind <s>became</s> began blowing much stronger and it started snowing. Snow was everywhere and they couldn’t see anything. Their off-roader instantly got stuck after another excavation. Some time later they decided to wait until the storm pass.

The next day they found themselves trapped in the snow. The first time they tried to dig out the off-roader, but it was impossible because it was deep in the snow. Fortunately they had radio, so they used it to ask for help. After five hours waiting (consider rewording to 'After waiting for five hours'), rescuers arrived and pulled them out of the snow. One of the rescuers told <s>to</s> Bob and Ian that they were about 20 miles from the South pole.

Bob and Ian decided not to <s>gave</s> give up and they reached the South pole in 2009.
