Accident at Mont Blanc in August 2024@(betweenHeadlineTag)>
In August of this year there was an accident on Mont Blanc when several seracs broke off at around 4100 meters and thundered into the depths. A Frenchman was hit and killed by the ice masses, other mountaineers were affected, including two Germans.
The two German men, aged 30 and 39, were initially searched for by helicopter, dog teams and numerous mountain rescuers. However, the measures were stopped after a few days. It is believed that the two were swept into a crevasse and buried under a 10 meter thick blanket of compact snow. They have been missing since then.
