The mummified remains of two climbers have been discovered near the peak of Pico de Orizaba in Mexico and are thought to be the remains of climbers who disappeared in an avalanche in 1959.
Rescuers say they believe a third body is still hidden under the snow but they're encountering severe difficulties - toxic gases are released during digging. Bringing the remains back down the volcano is also proving problematic, due to their fragile nature and the tough terrain. The names and nationalities of the climbers have not been released yet.
Warning, graphic photographs of mummified remains at the link.
