The body of a man who is believed to have died more than 20 years ago has been found on a rapidly melting glacier in the Austrian province of Tyrol.
Police say a mountain guide discovered the body last week 2,900m (9,500ft) up the Schlatenkees glacier in East Tyrol.
A rucksack was found close by containing a bank card and a driving licence. Police used a helicopter to help retrieve the body.
Police think the man was from Austria and was 37 years old when he died.
DNA tests are being carried out to establish his identity.
Police spokesman Christian Viehweider told BBC News it would take several weeks before the results of those tests would be known.
The man, who had ski touring equipment with him, is believed to have had an accident in 2001.
The Schlatenkees is thought to be one of the country’s fastest-melting glaciers. In its report for 2021/2022, the Austrian Alpine Club said it was the glacier with the biggest recorded loss of 89.5m.
