“He's been found - he's come home now."
The bones of a British man who died in an accident in Antarctica in 1959 have been discovered in a melting glacier.
The remains were found in January by a Polish Antarctic expedition who carefully recorded and rescued them in four trips.
The man who has now been formally identified as Dennis "Tink" Bell fell into a crevasse aged 25 while on a two-year assignment in Antarctica.
"I had long given up on finding my brother. It is just remarkable, astonishing,” said David Bell.
