A Developing Story

“Fifty years ago, eight Americans set off for South America to climb Aconcagua, one of the world’s mightiest mountains. Things quickly went wrong. Two climbers died. Their bodies were left behind. Now, a camera belonging to one of the deceased climbers has emerged from a receding glacier near the summit, and one of mountaineering’s most enduring mysteries has been given air and light.” The always excellent John Branch in the NYT (Gift Article): Ghosts on the Glacier.
