British man who perished in Antarctic glacier found 65 years later The remains of a British man who went missing in the Antarctic over 65 years ago have been discovered, bringing closure to his family. The man, whose identity has not been revealed, was part of a scientific expedition to the region in the 1950s when he disappeared. His brother, who was also part of the expedition, had long given up hope of ever finding him. However, recent advancements in technology and a chance discovery by researchers have led to the recovery of the man's remains, which were preserved in the glacier. The discovery has been described as a bittersweet moment for the family, who now have the opportunity to properly lay their loved one to rest. The incident serves as a poignant reminder of the dangers and challenges faced by those who venture into the harsh and unforgiving Antarctic environment.
