Pakistan Glacier Yields 28-Year Mystery: Man’s Body Found Intact Amidst Melt

A remarkable discovery has emerged from Pakistan’s remote Kohistan region, where a melting glacier has yielded the remarkably preserved body of a man missing for 28 years. Shepherd Omar Khan stumbled upon the remains, identified by an ID card as Naseeruddin, in the Lady Valley. The body was found almost entirely intact, with clothing still unworn, a sight Khan described as “unbelievable.”

Naseeruddin had vanished in June 1997 after reportedly falling into a glacier crevasse while traveling with his brother. The two had taken an unconventional mountain route due to a family dispute and were reportedly fleeing attackers when Naseeruddin sought refuge in an icy cave and was never seen again. Despite extensive searches at the time, his body remained elusive, leading to a symbolic funeral.

The recovery of Naseeruddin’s body after nearly three decades brings a poignant closure for his family, who are now deciding whether to bury him in Lady Valley or return him to their ancestral home. This unusual preservation and discovery also underscore the accelerated pace of glacial melt in the region, attributed to reduced snowfall and higher temperatures, which are increasingly exposing long-hidden secrets within the ice.
