Footage of a group of climbers who died in the Indian Himalayas in May has been found by a search team and shows them climbing through the snow on a remote peak.
The eight climbers were reported missing in May while trying to scale Nanda Devi, India’s second-highest mountain. The group consisted of four Britons, two Americans, one Australian and an Indian. Seven of the eight bodies were recovered in June.

On Monday, an Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) search team in the region announced they had found a “memory video device”, which was later described by the ITBP’s deputy inspector general as a GoPro, showing them hiking.
The short clip, which runs for less than two minutes, has been published by the ITBP on Twitter and depicts the group moving slowly through the snow on an unnamed peak near Nanda Devi east. Wind, but no voices, can be heard in the audio of the footage.
