Rescue workers have recovered the bodies of Samuli Mansikka, 36, and his local guide, Pemba Sherpa, 35, on Mount Annapurna in the Himalayas in Nepal. Though the duo reportedly made it to 8,000 metres on Annapurna's peak a week ago Tuesday, on the morning of Wednesday March 25 they were reported missing.
Annapurna is one of the world's most dangerous mountains; only 191 climbers have reached its peak.
The Nepalese Tourism Ministry released a press statement confirming the unfortunate loss of Mansikka and Sherpa and said that their bodies have been recovered at 7,000 metres.
