Austria: Alpinist recovers equipment 63 years after glacier accident

SAPO Notícias29 August 2026 at 18:34

An elderly alpinist managed to recover a backpack he had abandoned more than 60 years ago in the Sulztalferner glacier area, in the Tyrol region of Austria. The recovery happened on Tuesday.

The equipment had remained at the site after an accident during an expedition in the glacier area. The alpinist then decided to leave the backpack behind, which remained on the glacier for decades.

Due to the glacier's retreat caused by climate change, the equipment eventually reappeared on the surface, allowing the alpinist to recover it after 63 years.
