Rescuers in the French Alps have located the bodies of eight climbers missing after an avalanche at the weekend.
Authorities said however that it was too dangerous to attempt their recovery. The mountaineers, including four Germans, three Swiss and one Austrian, reportedly fell into a deep crevasse after being swept away by a wall of ice on Mont Blanc on Sunday. A commander of mountain rescue services said helicopters picked up homing devices the climbers were wearing.
