From the looks of it, never play Twister near a crevasse.

...UNLESS...it is naked Vaseline Twister.

They took a bottle of wine and went on a glacier to “milk their cows”

Like ‘watching the submarine races’

Looks like they wedged into the crevasse in a contorted position. If he or she wasn’t killed in the fall then their last hours must have been excruciating.

Maybe they were sitting there quietly, milking cows and enjoying some vino - when the glacier suddenly snuck up and swallowed them by surprise.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Glacial movement could also have been a factor.

[ameribbean expat]

Definitely have that Otzi the Austrian Ice Man look. Well, except for the bottle of wine.

[Western Phil]

Typical media approach - leave out the facts that enable one to make sense of the report. My guess is that they were crossing the glacier to milk the cows which were likely grazing uphill and on the other side of the ice, falling into the crevice and expiring. Summer pasture in that part of the world is normally up the mountain from the residence.

It reminds me of the movie Vertical Limit, where a reclusive K2 guide finally finds the body of his missing wife in a glacier.

" their last hours must have been excruciating."

Rush said today, "many more people are killed by cold than heat."

At least for these two people, Rush is right.

Maybe they wanted ice cream 😎

A passenger plane crashed in The Andes and showed up,in a glacier,fifty five years later.

More proof of climate change....

One of their children (if not more) is alive. Haunting story.

They should take these folks and compare them to the modern person and see how they fair against each other. I think the people from before the 50s look much better than modern people, on a whole.
