British climber's remains found in Swiss Alps, 52 years on
The remains of a climber discovered in the Swiss Alps last year have been identified as a British mountaineer who went missing 52 years ago, local police said on Aug. 31.
It is the latest in a series of discoveries of remains of long-missing climbers revealed as the Alp's glaciers melt and recede because of global warming.
Three Bodies Found on Mont Blanc After Being Hidden by Glacier for Decades
The bodies of three climbers suspected to have died more than two decades ago have been discovered on the Italian side of western Europe's highest peak Mont Blanc, local police have said.
"The glacier is constantly shifting and we can say that the deaths occurred around 1995," said a spokesman for the Alpine rescue police service in Italy's northwestern Val d'Aoste region.
