This is the best summary I could come up with:

The body of a man who is believed to have died more than 20 years ago has been found on a rapidly melting glacier in the Austrian province of Tyrol.

There have been several similar discoveries in rapidly shrinking Alpine glaciers this summer as the melting ice reveals long-held secrets.

In June a climber found human remains and bones on the same glacier in Tyrol, in the Venediger group of mountains.

In Switzerland, the body of a German climber - missing since 1986 - was found on a glacier close to the Matterhorn mountain last month.

Switzerland and Austria have been experiencing very hot conditions this summer and there are fears for the future of the Alpine glaciers which are key to Europe’s environment.

The winter snow stored by the glaciers fills European rivers such as the Rhine and the Danube, providing water for crops, or for cooling nuclear power stations.
