Emergency services have been searching for weeks for two missing residents of Vorarlberg in Grindelwald, Switzerland. After the ice broke, the two were considered missing. The man has now been found dead, but there is still no trace of his companion.
The man found is the 35-year-old Austrian who, together with another alpinist, has been missing since mid-August after an ice break led to an avalanche. The man was seen on Tuesday during a transport flight in a crevasse in the Arctic Ocean, the cantonal police of Bern announced on Thursday.
There was still no trace of his mountain comrade, who was also missing. The two Austrians were on their way to the Mittellegihütte, located 3,355 meters above sea level, when the ice broke off, police said in a news release in August.
Difficult search conditions
Shortly afterwards, the police received a report that two people had been buried under an avalanche after an ice break. The search, which was launched immediately, found equipment but no people, it was said.
The search for the two buried people had to be interrupted due to difficult circumstances.
