The Buzz: Mexico finds 2nd mummified body in glacier

Officials said Friday that climbers have found a second mummified body in a glacier on Mexico’s tallest peak, and said they may be the remains of climbers missing since a 1959 avalanche on the peak. Juan Navarro, the mayor of Chalchicomula de Sesma, the town nearest the Pico de Orizaba volcano, said Friday that a rescue team of climbers that includes town officials went up Thursday to start digging out the first body, sighted earlier this week.
Initially, only a head and a hand could be seen sticking out of the snow and ice. But last week they excavated further and discovered the hand actually belonged to another body that appeared to be embracing the first corpse. Navarro said a third body may be found, because three climbers disappeared on the peak in a November 1959 avalanche.
