• Resumen

  • Schwartz features images of the three brothers show their possessions, as well as the glaciers that carried them. These images are taken from Schwartz's book While the Fires Burn: A glacier odyssey. A computer model suggests the ice rivers carried the brothers around 10 kilometres through space as well as 86 years through time. Based on where the model suggests their bodies are likely to have entered the glacier, it appears the men got lost on the way back, veering right and remaining on the Aletsch glacier instead of continuing straight on towards the hut. They froze to death on the ice and were buried by snow.
