British Climber Dies, Another Injured in Norway Avalanche

A British man died, and another British man hurt himself when they were climbing in Norway. They were climbing a frozen waterfall on Gaustatoppen mountain last Friday. A big snow slide, called an avalanche, came down the mountain and hit them.

The rescue teams helped one man right away. They took him to the hospital on Saturday. His injuries were not very bad.

The rescue teams tried to reach the other man for many days. They could not find him because the weather was very bad. They finally found his body on Tuesday morning. They had to use ropes to climb down the mountain because they could not use a helicopter.

The British government office said it is helping both families and is talking to the Norwegian people in charge about what happened.
