The climbers were on their way to the top of Pico de Orizaba, the country’s tallest mountain, when they saw a head and hand sticking out of the snow. They then noticed another corpse a few hundred feet away.

Experts are speculating the bodies may belong to people who were lost in an avalanche on the mountain over 50 years ago. An attempt was made to recover the bodies on Friday.

Two families have come forward to claim the bodies, assuming they belong to the people they are thought to belong to. Forensic experts plan to identify the bodies using pieces of clothing that remain intact.
