Objects buried in the Alpine glacier have emerged in decades due to climate change.

On the 13th, local time, foreign guardians such as the British Guardian reported on the objects found in the Mont Blanc glacier, the highest peak in the Alps.

Timote Mortin, 33, who runs a café and restaurant at 1,350 meters above sea level in Mont Blanc, recently found paper sheets protruding between glaciers. It was a newspaper published on India on January 20, 1966, 54 years ago. On the front page, there was news that Indira Gandhi, the only daughter of India's first prime minister, Jawahalal Nehru, was elected India's first female prime minister.


The newspaper is presumed to be the remains of an Air 101 flight accident that crashed on January 24, 1966, in Mumbai, India, on its way to London, England. At the time, the airliner crashed into the Alps shortly after communication with the air traffic control was over, and all 117 passengers and crew members died in the accident.

It was only in 2012 that the items and remains of passenger planes that had been trapped in glaciers for decades after being buried in the snow began to appear. At that time, the first batch of documents that read'Indian government officials, diplomatic documents, Ministry of Foreign Affairs' was discovered, and in the following year, a box containing gems worth up to 246,000 euros (about 340 million won), including emeralds, sapphires, and rubies Found. In 2017, two hazardous spheres appeared in the melted glacier.


This is not the first time Mr. Mortin has discovered the wreckage of a passenger plane accident. "When I walk around the glacier with my friends, the debris is often noticeable," he said.

It is known that more and more visitors are coming to the Alps to collect and sell expensive old objects buried in glaciers. It is estimated that the newspapers discovered by Mr. Motin also had great value because 50 years of colorless colors and photographs remained smeared. However, Mr. Mortin said, "I will not buy and use the debris for my benefit." He said he would display the newspaper in his own shop for everyone to see.
