A British woman was among five people found dead following a snowstorm in Chilean Patagonia, authorities have confirmed.
The bodies were discovered on Tuesday in the tourist hotspot of Torres del Paine National Park, in southern Chile.
The victims included the British woman, two Germans and two Mexican citizens, according to Jose Antonio Ruiz, the presidential delegate of the Magallanes of southern Chile.
"We appreciate the effort of all civilian, military, public, and private institutions that participated in this operation," the regional presidential delegation said in a Facebook post.
The search for the victims has ended, with authorities now focusing on repatriating the bodies and liaising with foreign consulates, officials said.
It is understood that a further four people have been found alive.
Chilean President Gabriel Boric Font paid tribute to the "tireless" search and rescue teams, who worked amid "intense" snowfall and winds reaching 118mph.
"To the families, friends, and loved ones of the five individuals of Mexican, German, and British nationalities who tragically lost their lives in the incident that occurred in Torres del Paine, I extend my deepest condolences," he said in a post on X.
"Know that you have the full support and collaboration of Chilean authorities and institutions during these difficult times."
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has been contacted for comment.
