Bodies of Two Belgian Hikers Missing Since 1992 Found as Swiss Glacier Melts
The bodies of two Belgian hikers who went missing in the Swiss Alps in 1992 were found following the melting of the Trift glacier near Lucerne, according to officials from the Valais region. DNA tests confirmed their identities. Such discoveries have become more frequent due to accelerated glacier retreat, which many scientists attribute to global warming. Similar cases include a German mountaineer found near the Matterhorn in 2019 after disappearing in 1986.
