Their identities have been confirmed with passports found along with the bodies, but details other than their genders remain withheld at the request of their families, officials said.
Rescue and search efforts were suspended about a week after the accident due to harsh weather conditions and subsequent avalanches in the region, but they resumed in early April as the temperature got warmer, with the snow and ice beginning to melt.
