우리 산악회가 2003년에 등정한 알프스의 몽불랑 산군인 몽불랑 드 따귈(Mont Blanc du Tacul)에서 풋볼구장 두배만한 얼음벽이 떨어지며 8명의 등반인을 165피트 깊이의 크레바스 밑으로 떨어져 숨지게 하였다. 이러한 사실은 한 조난자가 휴대한 위치추적기에 의해 추정되었는데 구조대는 시체 발굴에 수주일 혹은 수년이 걸릴지도 모르기 때문에 발굴작업을 포기하였다.
빙하가 녹아 자연 노출 될때까지 그들은 그곳에 누워 있어야 한다.
몽불랑 산군에선 한해 10여명 이상이 눈사태 사고로 목숨을 잃는다.
CHAMONIX, France — French police found the bodies of eight climbers Monday after they went missing in an avalanche near Mont Blanc, western Europe's highest peak, officials said.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
The bodies were buried beneath up to 165 feet of ice and the climbers — four Germans, three Swiss and an Austrian — most likely had fallen into a deep crevasse, said Regis Lavergne, commander of the High Mountain Gendarmes based in Chamonix.
A search helicopter was able to locate them after it picked up the signal of a special homing device the climbers were wearing, Lavergne said.
Because the area is prone to avalanches, rescuers will not attempt to recover the bodies, which are expected to resurface in "a few weeks or several years" due to the movement or melting of the glaciers, he said at a news conference.
The avalanche began at early Sunday after a block of ice as wide as two football fields cracked off a side of the Mont Blanc du Tacul,
