Alpine rescue crews recovered the tenth victim using a canine unit and drones as they dug through the avalanche debris.

To date, only six of the 10 bodies have been positively identified.

Victims include two Czech citizens and two local alpine guides, among others.

Local authorities believe that another person is missing-feared-dead, as several body parts have been found in the debris.

It is estimated that the slab that detached from the glacier was 650 feet wide, 200 feet high and 250 feet deep, and reached a speed of 200 miles per hour.

Cristian Ferrari, president of the Glaciological Commission of the Tridentine Alpinists Society (SAT), weighed in on the tragedy in the wake of public outrage.

Several signs of the glacier’s decline had been recorded in the leadup to the tragedy, including high temperatures, an increase of meltwater and growing cracks.

 “Every time an avalanche falls, people ask us: could it not be closed?,” Ferrari said.

“The truth is that every time we try to ban an area considered dangerous, that ban is systematically evaded.

“Closing the mountain, placing bans, monitoring everything is not the solution.”
