SEOUL (Reuters) - The bodies of three South Korean climbers have been found after they went missing early this week during a descent of Mount Everest, a university official said.
Two of a seven-member climbing team went missing on Tuesday, apparently after having suffered exhaustion, the official said, and the third went astray after launching a rescue mission.

"We were informed from the South Korean embassy to China that a Tibet climb association found bodies of the three at the mountain," an official of Keimyung University said, adding that the university is trying to establish other details.
