Poor weather conditions forced a legendary photographer to leave his belongings behind including cameras, on a glacier in 1937. This past August, a team worked to uncover the 85-year-old cache.

Griffin Post thought he would go home empty-handed after trying to find cameras left behind in North America's Yukon wilderness 85 years ago.

"Bradford Washburn is a legendary photographer, particularly in mountaineering circles. He is responsible for mapping and photographing a lot of Alaska and the Yukon," Post explained. Glaciologist Dr. Dora Medrzycka, who was working with Post, said that they initially had issues with finding the cameras since satellite data only spanned back 20 years. But once they were out exploring the glacier, it was then that she could see the pattern of debris and eventually determined the location of the cameras.
