Default Any news on Argentines who fell into a crevasse?

I have seen a few news stories about the 2 Argentine men who fell into a crevasse and that a rescue mission was ongoing, but it has been a few days with no followup information.

Does anyone know if they were rescued?

Doesn't seem to have been any news since about the 19th and it's now a week since they disappeared. I don't think they had a chance, it was a 60m (over 190 feet) fall.

It gets worse:

Three Chilean soldiers whose snow vehicle fell into a deep crevasse in the Antarctic on Wednesday have been found dead, officials say.

Unhappy Re: Any news on Argentines who fell into a crevasse?

that's really scary that the snow would just cover up a hole so huge....
