(ANSA) - Aosta, August 11 - Human remains have been found on
the Brenva glacier on the Italian side of Monte Bianco, the
finance police's Alpine rescue branch said on Friday.
They are probably the remains of a mountaineer who went
missing in the 1980s.
The backpack and ice axe are of a French brand and date back
to the early 1980s, according to initial analysis.
"With the melting of the glaciers, findings like this are
increasing," said Marshall Delfino Viglione of the Alpine
rescue, referring to the effects of climate change.
