Karina Hollekim, a Norwegian base-jumper, set off for a trip which was expected to be really adventurous. Her aim was to do base-jumping from Fatima’s Hand, a famous mountain enshrouded by myths and legends, situated in a remote area of Mali, in Western Africa. However, the trip turned out to be very different from what was expected, becoming a risky and difficult adventure of poverty, mysterious idols and fatal dangers.
