Two mummified bodies have been discovered on Pico de Orizaba, Mexico’s highest mountain . It is believed that the bodies could be the victims of a 1959 avalanche that killed three people and that a third corpse could be in the area.
The corpses were found by Mountain climbers who stumbled onto the bodies sticking out of a glacier.
Officials say recover could be difficult since the bodies were discovered at an elevation of 18,000 feet.
