“Unfortunately, there is no encouraging news,” Shabalin noted in an interview with RIA Novosti. – Following the avalanche, everything was buried. The snow turned into ice. Now nothing can be done. Nadezhda’s body ended up in a deep layer of ice. The helicopter cannot land on the slope and it is currently impossible to approach it on foot. There are cracks a hundred meters deep.
On October 15, rescuers were able to notice the athlete’s silhouette from a helicopter. However, harsh weather conditions prevented the landing and recovery of the body.
The tragedy occurred at around 6,680 meters above sea level. Due to bad weather, the body of 37-year-old Oleneva ended up under a thick layer of snow, which significantly complicated the search process.
