Skeletons of two persons have been found on Mount Ushba in Georgia’s north-west Svaneti region.
 
Head of Economy and Tourism Development of Mestia Municipality, Davit Ratiani, said that the remains were discovered by foreign alpinists.
 
They are likely to be the tourists, who died years ago, but we cannot say for sure. The intense melting of snow contributed to their discovery. The remains have not yet been brought down, we are waiting for specialists. We were informed today about the discovery of the remains by tourists”, Ratiani said.
