This is the heroic moment a mountain rescue team saves two hikers stranded in a blizzard in Spain.

The pair, unprepared for the severe conditions, faced major challenges during storm Jana on March 8.

One of the mountaineers, lacking proper gear, was suffering from hypothermia and frostbite when help arrived.

The rescue took six hours, with the team working through harsh weather to reach the hikers.

Dramatic footage shows GREIM (Mountain Rescue and Intervention Group) battling fierce winds and difficult terrain.

Authorities remind outdoor enthusiasts to stay alert and adhere to safety guidelines when navigating challenging environments to help reduce the risk of accidents.

Hypothermia is a medical emergency that occurs when the body's temperature drops below 95 degrees Fahrenheit (35 degrees Celsius). It can be fatal if left untreated.

Frostbite, another serious condition, occurs when the skin and underlying tissues freeze, often affecting the fingers, toes, and extremities. It can cause permanent damage or even amputation if not treated quickly.
