Rescuers in Hawaii have found a yoga instructor who went missing for 17 days while hiking in a forest reserve and who survived by drinking from streams and eating plants.
Amanda Eller, 35, went hiking in Maui's Makawao Forest Reserve on May 8 but became lost when she walked deeper in the reserve instead of heading back to her car as she believed.
Rescuers in a helicopter hired by her family spotted Eller on Friday afternoon in a ravine by a waterfall, miles from her vehicle.
Eller was malnourished, shoe-less, and had a broken leg and torn meniscus in her knee. She was expected to make a full recovery.
