Glacier Melt reveals the remains of meteorological specialist in Antarctica that have lost 66 years ago

In 1959, the 25 -year -old meteorologist Dennis Bell disappeared in an iceberg in the Antarctic in front of the eyes of his terrible colleague. After 66 years, the Polish team finally discovered its remains in the wake of a ice river.

Polish Henriwski staff in Antarctica on the King George Island in Antarctica first and recovered some of the remains in environmental science in January, according to statement By surveying the British Antarctic (BAS). The next month, a team including the archaeologist and the world of geomorphor, the anthropologist, and the ice specialist returned to the site to conduct a more comprehensive archaeological survey. Denise Syndercombe Court, a genetic medicine specialist at King’s College London, conducted the DNA tests for human remains, which are suitable for samples of Bell’s brother and sister.

David Bell said in the statement: “When my sister Valerie was notified that our brother Dennis was found 66 years after a shock and surprised us,” David Bell said in the statement. “The British survey in Antarctica and the British Trust in Antarctica was a tremendous support, and we have helped get the sensitivity of the Polish team to return it home with the tragic loss of our brilliant brother.”

Dennis Bell joined the FIDS (FIDS, a predecessor of meteorological specialist in 1958. At the time of the accident, he was concentrated in Admiralty Bay, a UK base on King George. King George is about 74.6 miles (120 km) off the northern coast of the Southern Pole, and it covers its peak permanently into the ice rivers. On July 26, 1959 – mid -winter of the southern hemisphere – Bill and three colleagues rose with two dogs ice sizes to ice for field work.

The group was divided into pairs, and the bell and surveyor Jeff Stokes set out in front of others. While ascending, Bell moved beyond his crawles to encourage tired dogs and disappeared in a plate. Bell survived the fall, and played a rope down for him to pull him back. However, Bill tied the rope around his belt, not around it. When his body reached the top of the fissure, stumbled, the belt erupted, and this time he fell until his death.

From ice and menA book by former BAS director Vivian Fox describes the event as “a particularly tragic death that one of them did not really feel that it should never happen, and therefore it is doubled,” as stated in the statement.

The researchers discovered his remains along with more than 200 personal elements, including radio equipment residues, ski columns, a hand lamp, an engraved wrist, and a Swedish Mora knife. Bill Point was named on King George Island in his honor.

“Despite lost in 1959, his memory lived among colleagues and in the legacy of polar research,” said Jin Francis, BAS director. “This discovery brings closure to a long puzzle for decades and reminds us of the human stories included in the history of Antarcticology.”
