The remains of Dennis "Tink" Bell, a 25-year-old British meteorologist who died in 1959, have been recovered from a glacier in Antarctica nearly 66 years after he fell into a crevasse. Bell was conducting a survey mission on King George Island, off the Antarctic Peninsula, when the accident occurred. The discovery was made possible by the receding ice on the glacier at Admiralty Bay, revealing his body which had been trapped in the ice since the incident. The British Antarctic Survey confirmed the identification of the remains and has repatriated them to the UK. This recovery sheds light on a long-standing mystery from an Antarctic expedition and highlights the ongoing effects of glacial melting in the region.
