Climbers' bodies found after 20 years
Updated | By Sune du Toit
Mountain guides located the remains Saturday during a climb on the volcano, which soars to 6,310 meters (20,700 feet) high in the Andes, about 130 kilometers (81 miles) south of Quito.
A missing persons police official, Fernando De la Torre, said investigators were working to determine if the remains were those of the climbers missing in the avalanche that hit between 1994 and 1995.
The frozen remains were found with backpacks, climbing gear and a film camera.
