▼ Indian authorities have released a video showing the final moments of a team of climbers whose bodies were recovered in the Himalayas.
The clip shows four Britons, two Americans, an Australian and an Indian slowly making their way up an unnamed peak in sunny weather, officials said.
The group was attempting to climb India's second-highest peak Nanda Devi when contact was lost on 26 May.
Seven bodies were recovered but Briton  Martin Moran remains missing.
The 1 minute 55 second clip released by the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) on Monday shows the eight climbers roped together as they take steps up an unnamed peak.
The camera with the footage was found buried in snow near the area where the bodies were eventually recovered in June, media reports said.

According to ITBP spokesman Vivek Kumar Pandey, the group's weight could have caused a snow ledge they were on to give away, "triggering an avalanche". (▪ ▪ ▪)

Their families have been there, they're conditioned.
It takes a lifetime and resources to attempt that Himalayan climb.
