Dr. Asma Mushtaq, a Pakistani mountaineer, has been found deceased on Spantik Mountain after a prolonged search operation. The body was recovered by local mountaineers and is currently being transported towards the base camp. The team has reached Camp II, but heavy snowfall at higher altitudes may impact their descent. The search began on August 20, when Dr. Mushtaq suffered a severe high-altitude medical emergency while descending the 7,027-meter-high peak.
Despite repeated delays due to bad weather, the rescue team finally located her remains beyond Camp 3. The operation was hampered by snowfall and strong winds, forcing the team to turn back from Camp 3 earlier. Now, with improved weather conditions, the team is expected to reach the base camp tomorrow.
