Glacier Melts And Shows Hikers Plane Wreck, They Make The Mistake Of Looking Inside

A Frozen Briefcase

The men couldn’t quell their curiosity as they eyed the half-frozen briefcase. It sat on the ice, seemingly taunting them, and they couldn’t hold back any longer. They had to force the frozen clasps open, but they couldn’t wait to find out what was inside.

They were about to discover what this plane wreck had hidden for over six decades, and they grew frantic. There was no going back from this.

Best Friends

A 60-year-old hidden secret lay just a few miles from Bern, Switzerland. Alexander Muller and his lifelong friend, Peter Keller, had grown up there, living across the street from one another. It’s safe to say they did everything together.

Considering they had grown up together, the two decided to share an apartment now that they were older. The best friends shared many common hobbies, including hiking.

Hiking To The Glaciers

They loved nothing more than to hike up to the many glaciers found in Switzerland. The pair had found extra jobs as guides due to their extensive glacier experiences.

Despite their experiences, the men would find something in the melted glaciers they’d never expected. Buried beneath the ice had been a 60-year-old secret.

Unique Finds

Alex and Peter were not strangers to the stories of what others had found beneath the ice. During the spring, some people found Viking equipment beneath the melted glaciers!

They were unique finds. Some had found arrowheads while others found helmets, and the men dreamed of finding their special something beneath the ice. But Peter and Alex would regret it once they did.

Discovering New Paths

There are many glaciers in and around Switzerland, but the Aletsch glacier is the best recognized. It experiences a lot of change between summer and winter, and this glacier was the one Peter and Alex favored to hike across.

They would discover new paths and learn them to keep up-to-date as guides for the general public. But one path would take them to a dark secret they’d wish they had never found.
