Search For The Second Trapped Polish Caver Continues In Tatra Mountains

Members of the previous rescuer shift returning to the TOPR base in Zakopane, but the rescue operation continues to find a second caver body. Last night, TOPR rescuers, carrying out a search operation in the 'Great Snowy Cave' in the Tatra Mountains, found the body of one of two speleologists. From today, the rescue team will begin preparations for bringing the body to the surface. Rescuers assume that the body of the second speleologist is very close.
