In Pakistan’s Kohistan region, a shepherd recently discovered the body of Naseeruddin, a 31-year-old man who vanished in 1997 during a trip through the Supat Valley. Perfectly preserved in glacial ice for 28 years, his body still had intact clothes and an ID card.
His family had searched for decades without success. Scientists say Pakistan’s melting glaciers, driven by climate change, are revealing long-hidden remains and artifacts. The find echoes other famous frozen discoveries like Ötzi the Iceman, offering a reminder of both human tragedy and the accelerating retreat of the world’s ice.
