A shepherd in Pakistan’s remote and mountainous Kohistan region came across the body, which was remarkably well-preserved, with its clothing intact, in the so-called Lady Valley in the country’s east.

Along with the body was an ID card with the name Naseeruddin.

Police were able to trace it to a man who disappeared in the area in June 1997 after falling into a glacier crevasse.

“What I saw was unbelievable,” the shepherd who found the body, Omar Khan, told BBC Urdu.

“The body was intact. The clothes were not even torn.”

When a human body falls into a glacier the extreme cold can freeze it, and prevent decomposition.
