Search on for climbers lost in glacial crevasse

Three mountain rescue teams renewed a search today for two Polish climbers believed to have fallen down a crevasse on a glacier in Russia’s Caucasus Mountains.

The search suffered a setback when rescuers did not find the missing pair in a spot where two other Polish climbers reported they had fallen into a crevasse, said Kantemir Davydov, a spokesman for the Emergency Situations Ministry branch in the Kabardino-Balkariya region.
