11 climbers missing on Europe's highest mountain
Russian rescue teams today continued their search for 11 climbers missing on Europe’s highest peak, Mt. Elbrus.
The 11 were in a group of eight Russians and four Ukrainians who had set out to reach the 18,506ft summit yesterday, the 61st anniversary of the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany, but who lost contact with their expedition organisers at the base of the mountain.
