Lost Backpack Found After 60 Years | Canada News
Description
An 86-year-old hiker’s lost backpack—abandoned 60 years ago on Austria’s Sulztalferner glacier after a life-threatening crevasse fall—is miraculously rediscovered in glacial ice, sparking a detective journey that led to its return. Inside, weathered documents revealed his identity; the pack, along with an ice axe, camera, and pipe, had been preserved at 9,700 feet. His son shared how this near-death moment shaped their family’s existence. As glaciers melt, Tyrol continues uncovering history: coins, weapons, diaries, even WWI soldiers’ remains—and now, this deeply personal story of survival, loss, and legacy.
