American Climber Buried by an Avalanche in Peru

US mountaineer's remains found preserved in Peruvian ice 22 years after avalanche burial

The articles describe the story of William Stampfl, a 58-year-old man who attempted to climb Mount Huascarán, a 6,768-meter peak. Unfortunately, he was buried alive in an avalanche 22 years ago, along with his friends Matthew Richardson and Steve Erskine. The extreme cold and ice preserved his body and clothing, allowing for the discovery of his remains many years later. His passport was found among his possessions, enabling police to identify the body.
