Expedition finds cameras on remote Yukon glacier, 85 years after famous mountaineer left them behind

WNews Banner

After six days of searching the Walsh Glacier in Yukon’s Kluane National Park for a decades-old cache of cameras, Griffin Post’s expedition team was ready to pack it in.

Then, on the last afternoon of the search, one of the team’s scientists came up with a new theory for where the gear could be.
