The remains of a British man who died in an accident in Antarctica 66 years ago have been discovered in a melting glacier alongside ski poles, a pipe and a watch.
Dennis “Tink” Bell fell into a crevasse in 1959 while working for the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (Fids), now the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), a few weeks after his 25th birthday. His body was not discovered until January, when a Polish team found bones near their base.
