Scientists who disappeared after being drawn into the glacier is dead

The authorities said that a scientist who disappeared after Falls into a stream on Alaska’s Mendenhall Glacier have died.

The Alaska Department of Public Safety (DPS) said that about 13:45 local time on September 2, troops were announced that an adult male – was later identified as Riccardo Pozzobon, 40 – had fallen into the creek and then disappeared after being pressed by the water into a small, vertical opening in the ice called a moulin.

“The two people he travels with could no longer see him as he fell into the opening,” DPS said in his sending report at that time.

Juneau Mountain Rescue sent an ice cream team that found that about two feet wide hole was filled with rushing water. “It was determined to be too dangerous to try to find the missing man, pending further joints,” officials said.

On Monday, September 8, DPS confirmed Pozzobon’s identity and said he had died.

In an e -mail message to humans, a spokesman made it for DPS that although his body has not been located or recovered, Moulin he disappeared in “was not a surviving situation.”

Regarding the timing of their announcement, the spokesman said they were waiting to release his name until they were convinced that his relatives in Italy had been announced.

“We are heartbroken about the loss of Riccardo Pozzobo,” National Geographic Society, which funded the research at the glacier in which Pozzobon was involved in, shared a statement with NBC affiliate Kutu.

“Our deepest sympathy and condolences are with his family and loved ones, including the two colleagues who were part of the research group that conducts field work in Alaska,” they added.

According to European Space AgencyPozzobon was a researcher at the University of Padua’s Department of Geosciences in Italy and his specialty was Planet Geology.

“Within ESA Riccardo played an important role in the foundation and development of Pangea, our astronaut Geological Field Science Education Program,” read them. “Since 2016, he trained astronauts in remote recognition, assignment planning, structural geology and geological field skills, and he served as the primary soil communicator under scientific traverses.”

“Riccardo, who was on assignment in Alaska, died September 2 and left a large void in all of us, both as a man and as a researcher,” said Nicola Surian, the department’s manager. “In this very sad moment, we as a department want to express our deepest sympathy to Riccardo’s family and friends.”

“Riccardo was not only a brilliant scientist with a boundless passion for geology, but he was also a generous person, always willing to share his expertise with enthusiasm and an infectious joy,” added Francesco Sauro, a playerologist and geologist who participated in many field assignments with Pozzobon.

One online Collection founded to help Pozzobon’s partner and their young son “during this painful and difficult time.”
