A total of 113 people are still missing today following a devastating avalanche in southern Russia.
Rescuers renewed their efforts to find survivors after a giant chunk of glacier roared down a gorge popular with hikers.
Emergency Ministry officials said they fear that as many as 150 people were killed, and they are not hopeful of finding anyone alive.
The list of 113 missing could grow, a spokesman for the Interior Ministry of North Ossetia said, as information comes in on shepherds and watchmen at remote tourist camps high in the mountains. So far only six bodies have been recovered.
The disaster occurred on Friday night when a 500-foot high chunk of glacier broke off from beneath a mountain peak and roared down the Genaldon and Gizyeldon gorges at more than 60 mph, uprooting trees and accumulating mud and rocks as it went. The avalanche slid 20 miles before it stopped on a road six miles from the regional capital Vladikavkaz.
Among the missing are popular Russian actor Mr Sergei Bodrov and a crew shooting a film he was directing in the area.
Officials also feared hikers and campers may have been in the area, popular among residents of the regional capital Vladikavkaz, who often head to the mountains on weekends.
