# The bodies of two Belgian hikers who disappeared in the Swiss Alps 34 years ago, have finally been identified after a melting glacier exposed their remains. The men, who were 39 and 41 respectiveliy when they vanished in 1992, had been hiking near the Weissmies mountain. A hiker discovered human remains on the Trift Glacier on 26 July. DNA testing confirmed their identities. Swiss authorities say such discoveries are becoming increasingly common as glaciers retreat, revealing the remains of people who disappeared in the mountains decades ago.
