Bodies of two hikers missing for decades found after Swiss glacier melts

The bodies of two Belgian men who went missing in the Swiss Alps in 1992 have been discovered after being exposed by the melting of a glacier, police have said.

DNA analysis later confirmed them to be those of two mountaineers who went missing 34 years ago near the Weissmies mountain, police said.

The force noted that this was not the first time that the melting of glaciers had exposed the remains of people who had gone missing several decades prior.
