For years I've been searching for the elusive European yeti Gigantopithecus modernis yetii, and have had my suspicions about the remote Vallee Blanche. Skiers regularly disappear without trace here, and the numerous deep crevasses provide ample shelter. Surely if the yetis were out there it would be an ideal place to find them. So when surgery to repair an old arm fracture prevented me from working, I seized the opportunity to go searching a couple of weeks ago. Check out my photos!
