Melting glaciers reveal hidden corpses of climbers long past

For a handful of climbers, it has been their last peak. They’ve been buried by avalanches or swallowed by crevasses. Now, the mountain is spitting back their bodies.
Late in February, a climbing party circled the jagged crater atop Orizaba.
“One of them slipped, and they later said he skidded down and came to a stop. When he got up, he saw a head poking out of the snow,” said Hilario Aguilar Aguilar, a veteran climber.
It was a mummified climber, a member of a Mexican expedition hit by an avalanche on Nov. 2, 1959. Some climbers fell near the Chimicheco Ridge, their bodies frozen in an icy time machine, only to re-emerge 56 years later.

“I’m actually investigating a cold case,” said Gerald Holdsworth, a glaciologist and member of the Arctic Institute of North America at the University of Calgary. The crash involves a Norseman single-engine bush plane that went down in 1951. “We think that the plane hit a mountain, Mount Eaton, at no more than 6,000 feet,” Holdsworth said.
That was a cool pun.

All those SUVs in 1959 must have melted the ice back then too.

I didn't think anyone around here believed in global warming.
