Drones used in search after fatal Italian glacier avalanche

Carabinieri police officers and rescuers stand by the refrigerated container where the bodies of the people who died under the Punta Rocca glacier avalanche are kept in Canazei, in the Italian Alps in northern Italy, Monday, July 4, 2022, a day after a huge chunk of the glacier broke loose, sending an avalanche of ice, snow, and rocks onto hikers. Rescuers said conditions downslope from the glacier, which has been melting for decades, were still too unstable to immediately send rescuers and dogs into the area to look for others buried under tons of debris.
