Three bodies found on Mont Blanc after being hidden by glacier for decades

The corpses were discovered roped together by a French climber according to local authorities

The bodies of three climbers suspected to have died more than two decades ago have been discovered on the Italian side of western Europe's highest peak Mont Blanc, local police have said.

"The glacier is constantly shifting and we can say that the deaths occurred around 1995," said a spokesman for the Alpine rescue police service in Italy's northwestern Val d'Aoste region.
