Tributes have been paid to a British man who died during a white-water rafting trip in America. Steve Morton, who was 47 and from Cambridge, is reported to have fallen from a boat while exploring the Kenai Penisula in Alaska.
47-year-old Steve Morton, who is reported to have died following white-watering accident in Alaska on Tuesday, was an experienced and careful climber, according to his wife.
Mr Morton has just scaled Mount McKinley, the highest mountain in the USA.
Vanessa Langlois told Sky News her husband had told her he was planning to go white-water rafting on a notoriously difficult route in the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska. She said:
"He told me the people in his climbing team had suggested he go white-water rafting and that he would be given a test to make sure he was competent before he went."
"His climbing colleagues knew him to be really strong and careful. They were experienced in rafting and must have felt he was able to handle the activity."
