Local shepherd Omar Khan was surprised to discover the body of a man in a melting glacier in Kohistan, Pakistan while traveling through the Lady Valley area - a remote and rarely visited land. The man's body was quite intact, his clothes were not torn and his face was still recognizable. Photo: tv47.digital. “What I saw was unbelievable. The body was intact, the clothes were intact,” Mr Khan recalled of the moment he discovered the body of Mr Naseeruddin (circled right in the photo) under the glacier.

Mr Khan then reported the incident to the authorities. Accordingly, next to the man's body, the police found an old identification card bearing the name of Naseeruddin - who was reported missing in June 1997 after falling into an ice crevasse while traveling in the area.

After verifying his identity, police contacted Naseeruddin's relatives and learned that at the time of his disappearance, he and his brother Kathiruddin had left home due to a family dispute. The two were riding horses through Lady Valley. Photo: aa.com.tr.
In the afternoon, Naseeruddin entered an ice cave. Kathiruddin waited for his brother to come out, but he returned to the village to ask people to search for him, but to no avail. Nearly 30 years after his disappearance, Naseeruddin's body was found thanks to a melting glacier. Photo: hellopakistan. According to Professor Muhammad Bilal - Head of the Department of Environment at Comsats University Islamabad, when a body falls into an ice crevice, the extremely low temperature will stop the decomposition process.

"This is a clear demonstration of the accelerated rate of melting due to global warming. This area used to have snow all year round but in recent years, the snowfall has decreased dramatically, exposing the glaciers and melting faster," Professor Bilal said. Photo: PA.
