Summary
Rescue crews in Italy have located the body of a missing British hiker in the Adamello Alps, five days after the pair was reported missing. Experienced hikers Aziz Ziriat and Sam Harris set out on January 1 for a New Year's excursion and failed to return for their scheduled flight on January 6. Weather conditions hindered search efforts, but crews utilized phone recordings to locate their equipment and subsequently the body of one hiker buried under the snow. The search continues for the other missing man amidst challenging avalanche risks.
