Nineteen-year-old Zara Rutherford is looking to become the youngest woman to fly solo, or by herself, around the world.The young Belgian-British pilot left Belgium in August.Rutherford hopes to complete her 51,000-kilometer trip across five continents and 52 countries by mid-January 2022.She recently talked about the difficulties involved in crossing northern Russia after landing in Jakarta, Indonesia.She told reporters in Jakarta the hardest part of her trip so far was flying across Siberia in northern Russia.She noted that if anything went wrong, any help she would need in freezing temperatures would likely be hours away."If for any reason the engine stops, I think I could survive.I could either land on the land or use the parachute or ditch in the water. I'll be ok," Rutherford said.She added, "The problem is if I'm in minus 35 degrees Celsius, once I'm on the ground and I'm three hours away from the closest human, I actually don't know how long I can survive."
