CNN —A mountain guide found the body of a man believed to have died more than 20 years ago on a glacier in Austria, police announced on Tuesday. The guide discovered the body on Friday on East Tyrol’s Schlatenkees glacier at an altitude of approximately 2,900 meters (9,500 feet) and notified police, who recovered it by helicopter. Police added that the man is believed to have had an accident on the glacier in 2001 and was traveling with ski touring equipment. Cash, a bank card and a driver’s license were found inside a nearby backpack belonging to the man, whom police tentatively identified as a 37-year-old Austrian. The Schlatenkees glacier, where the latest body was found, retreated by an unprecedented 60-100 meters (197-328 feet) between 2019 and 2022, according to Greenpeace.

Two Gen Xers who moved to Austria from the US said they had more freedom and fewer anxieties. But after some thought, the 53-year-old decided to move up his retirement plans and relocate to his wife's home country of Austria. Many Americans are moving to Austria recently for employment opportunities and to improve their quality of life. Austria also ranks in the top 10 globally for safety, healthcare, and infrastructure, which Barnett said was "super rare." "I don't have any interest in leaving Austria," Valentine said.

Berlin CNN —The remains of a German mountain climber who went missing 37 years ago while hiking along a glacier near Switzerland’s iconic Matterhorn have been recovered, as melting glaciers lead to the re-emergence of bodies and objects thought to be long lost. “DNA analysis enabled the identification of a mountain climber who had been missing since 1986,” police said in a statement. The discovery of the remains of the German climber comes as scientists revealed earlier this week that this month is on track to be the planet’s hottest in around 120,000 years. All glaciers are melting very fast and receding across the European Alps,” Nicholson said. “Some regions of the world are much more dependent on the glacier mountains than we are here – in some cases they are much more vulnerable than the Alps,” Nicholson added.
