Messner confirms the remains of his brother Guenther near the base camp of the Nanga Parbat Mountain, where he had been lost in 1970 during their descent from the 8,125-metre peak. Messner, who traveled to northern Pakistan with 15-member team of experts early August, collected various samples of the remains and sent them to Munich and Austria for DNA test.
