Authorities in Japan have discovered three bodies inside a crater at the summit of Mount Fuji, one of the country's most renowned mountains. The identities of the individuals, including their gender and age, have not yet been confirmed. One of the bodies has been successfully brought down from the slopes, while efforts to retrieve the other two will resume pending weather conditions.
The bodies were found several meters apart, raising questions about whether the individuals were climbing the 12,388-foot mountain together. The incident occurred before the official climbing season began, with the climbers entering from the Shizuoka Prefecture side.
