Search teams are digging through ice and snow on a mountain in Nepal in a bid to recover the bodies of seven climbers who were killed by an avalanche.

The avalanche hit the base camp at Mount Yalung Ri, located at 4,900 metres (16,070 feet), on Monday morning. Snowstorms prevented rescuers from reaching the site on the day.
