title: [Unusual discovery of 2 cadavers in a glacier--forensic and glacier-related aspects].
abstract: Unusual discovery of two corpses embedded in glacier ice in relation to glacier movement is discussed. As a matter of fact in such cases the scene of accident and the place of discovery after a long postmortem time is not the same. Knowing the time after death and the place of discovery it may be possible to ascertain the scene of accident and to draw conclusions on the proceedings of accident.
