KATHMANDU, Nepal (AP) — Rescuers dug through ice and snow on a mountain in Nepal on Tuesday to look for the bodies of seven climbers who were killed by an avalanche, officials said.

The avalanche pounded the base camp at Mount Yalung Ri, located at 4,900 meters (16,000 feet), on Monday morning. Snowstorms prevented rescuers from reaching the site the same day, but the weather cleared Tuesday and a helicopter landed with rescuers.
