The bodies of the men from the US and Canada have not been found as search ended on Friday, five days after they were reported missing
Three mountain climbers – two from the US and one from Canada – missing for five days on New Zealand’s tallest mountain, are believed to have died in a fall, the authorities.
The men’s bodies have not been found. But based on footprints seen in the snow on Mount Aoraki during an aerial survey, and items believed to belong to them retrieved from the slopes this week, the search for them has ended, police area commander inspector Vicki Walker told reporters.
