0:00 / 0:32
An Italian researcher disappeared in Alaska after falling into a glacial stream. He was swept into a moulin, a vertical ice shaft, while conducting research with two others. Rescue attempts were deemed too dangerous due to rushing water. Earlier that week, the body of a 69-year-old hiker from Arizona was found near the glacier. This follows another death in July involving a cruise ship visitor. The Mendenhall Glacier is a popular but potentially hazardous location.
