Body of one of 2 missing British climbers found in Dolomites

The body of one of two British climbers who went missing in the northern Italian Dolomites mountains on January 1 was found on Wednesday, ANSA reports.

Thanks to a trace recorded from the phone of one of them, missing in Trentino on the Adamello Massif, rescuers found the body of 35-year-old Sam Harris buried under the snow at a height of about 2,600 metres.

Rescuers using sniffer dogs continued to search for the second man, Aziz Ziriat, 36, who is also feared dead, until the search was called off due to bad weather.

Both men were from London.
