The young British adventurers who were airlifted to safety on Tuesday have received a number of death threats online. In a post on their Twitter feed the group announces that these threats have been handed over to the proper authorities who will proceed accordingly.
We have now received a number of death threats. Please note we take these seriously and will be handing them over to the proper authorities.

In a separate Tweet the group reminds anyone who is disappointed with their adventure to remain polite.
There is room for dialog and we hear many of your concerns and disappointments but not when our life and limb are threatened.

Some of the on-line criticism of the group has certainly gone too far. One YouTube user left a poorly spelled expletive laden rant, on their video “The Coldest Crossing Pilot”, demanding the group never return to Iceland: “Dont come here again! We dont need that shit up hera. Fkn dummis that you are”
Another user seemed to threaten their lives: “What you deserve is death”.
