Image: Sachelle Babbar THE MONT BLANC glacier in the French Alps yields more and more secrets as it melts – this time a pile of newspapers with banner headlines from when Indira Gandhi became India’s first and so far only female prime minister in 1966.
The trove of around a dozen newspapers was found last week by Timothee Mottin, who runs a cafe-restaurant, La Cabane du Cerro, perched at an altitude of 1,350 metres near the Chamonix skiing hub.The cafe is around 45 minutes by foot from the Bossons glacier where the plane named after the Himalayan peak of Kangchenjunga mysteriously crashed.
Once the papers have dried out, they will join a growing collection of found items from the crash that Mottin has put on display at the Cabane du Cerro.
