Search For The Second Trapped Polish Caver Continues In Tatra Mountains

Locals and tourists watch as members of the previous rescuer shift are returning to TOPR base, but the rescue operation continues to find a second speleologist 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.
