An avalanche in northeast Turkey has killed 10 climbers, while seven others from the same group managed to survive.
Two of the climbers remain in hospital, after being rescued by search teams on Mount Zigana, in Gumushane province.
Officials said the avalanche might have been caused by unusually warm temperatures loosening snow.
