Wasfia conquers Europe`s highest peak

Wasfia Nazreen, the second Bangladeshi woman to conquer Mount Everest, Thursday climbed the highest peak of Europe, Mount Elbrus.

A post in her Facebook profile said Wasfia put `Bangladesh`s flag on the summit of Europe on Mar 28 at 7:51am Russian time, 9:51am Bangladesh time,` after several attempts, fighting the dreadful wind and icy conditions.

Guided by Anna Petrova, she reached the top `evading a dangerous 50km/h wind speed, -35 wind-chill, zero visibility and 10cm snow`, the post read.
