Bodies of 4 missing climbers recovered on Mont Blanc


ROME, Sept. 11 (Xinhua) -- The bodies of four mountain climbers who went missing while hiking on Mont Blanc last weekend have been recovered by Italian authorities, in the latest of a series of deadly Alpine accidents that experts attribute to rising temperatures.

The bodies of Italian Alpinists Andrea Galimberti and Sara Stefanelli, aged 53 and 41 respectively, were found Wednesday morning at an altitude of around 4,500 meters on the French side of the mountain. The bodies of two other climbers, both from the Republic of Korea, were also recovered but have not yet been identified.
