Five people have died while attempting to climb Russia’s Mount Elbrus, the highest mountain in Europe. The bodies of two climbers were located at an altitude of more than 17,500 feet on Mount Elbrus and evacuated from the mountain. Authorities have been unable to recover the bodies of the remaining three climbers due to the bad weather conditions. The local prosecutor’s office said the group “strayed from the route” after getting caught up in deteriorating weather conditions while scaling the mountain. Mount Elbrus, located just north of Russia’s border with Georgia, is known for sudden ⁠changes in weather and hazardous climbing conditions.
