In early August 2023, two mountaineers discovered human remains on the Chessjen glacier near Saas Fee. However, the identity of the individual was unknown until DNA test results provided an answer. Then a DNA sample was collected from a relative of the most likely individual. The remains belong to a British climber who went missing in 1971 at the end of July and who could not be found at the time.
