A Polish research team working near the retreating Ecology Glacier on King George Island has found and recorded human remains. DNA tests show they belong to Dennis Bell, a British meteorologist who died in Antarctica in 1959. Bell was part of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, now the British Antarctic Survey. He died when he fell into a crevasse while with dog teams near Admiralty Bay. His body was never recovered—until now. The remains were taken aboard the British Antarctic Survey’s ship RRS Sir David Attenborough to the Falkland Islands and then to the UK. Malcolm Simmons, Coroner for the British Antarctic Territory, escorted them with Royal Air Force help. Professor Denise Syndercombe Court of King’s College London ran the DNA tests. Samples matched those of Bell’s brother and sister. The match was over a billion times more likely than a random match. The discovery ends decades of doubt for Bell’s family. More than 200 personal items like radio parts, a wristwatch, ski poles, a Swedish Mora knife, and a pipe stem were found at the site. A Polish team later collected more bones and objects during another survey in 2025. Bell fell into a crevasse on July 26, 1959, while moving ahead of dog teams without skis. A rope break led to his fall. Search efforts failed, and he was declared lost. He was 25 at the time. Bell grew up in northwest London and served in the Royal Air Force before joining the Antarctic survey. Colleagues recall his energy and humor. A King George Island headland is named Bell Point in his honor. His family called the discovery "shocking and astonishing." How they will mark his memory remains private. The shifting ice has rewritten this long-lost story.
