They rescued a barrel of beer from the alpine glacier with a Molnár cart – video

An Italian mountaineer transported a 40-kilogram barrel of beer from a glacier, overcoming nearly 2000 meters of elevation. Daniel Oberlechner discovered the barrel, dating back to 1978, after a storm revealed it at over 3000 meters. It likely fell from a helicopter during attempts to deliver it to a nearby refuge. Remarkably, the beer remained drinkable after nearly fifty years, retaining its flavor, color, and carbonation, possibly due to never fully freezing in the glacier.
