Stumbling upon a trove of riches may seem like a fantasy to many, but for one climber it’s become a lucky reality

A mountaineer who came across a chest filled with treasures on France’s Mont Blanc in 2013 has now been given half of the gems.

The box contained emeralds, rubies and sapphires that had been hidden on the Alps’ highest mountain for decades.

It is predicted that the trove came from an Indian plane that crashed into the mountain about 50 years ago.

The original owners have not been identified which is why half of the gems will belong to the climber and the other half will go to the local authority.

with the mountaineer being praised for his “integrity” in turning the treasures into the police.

The treasures have a total value of around 340,000 US dollars.

Two Air India planes had crashed into the mountain, the first in 1950 killing 48, and the second in 1966 that hard 117 on board.

Zelenskiy blames Moscow for stalling Geneva peace talks; negotiations to resume amid unresolved eastern territory and nuclear power plant disputes.

Two days of high-stakes negotiations in Geneva have ended without a breakthrough, as Ukraine and Russia failed to reach an agreement on key issues in the ongoing war. Despite international pressure, both sides walked away without a deal.

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy accused Moscow of deliberately stalling United States-mediated peace efforts, while Russia signalled it would not accept terms it sees as unfavourable. The White House says further talks are expected.

Major sticking points remain over territory in eastern Ukraine and control of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, with both sides rejecting proposals that would involve significant territorial concessions.
