KEY POINTS:
The search for the bodies of eight climbers swept down Mont Blanc du Tacul by a huge avalanche on Sunday was suspended all day yesterday due to the danger of provoking fresh avalanches.
The four Germans, three Swiss and one Austrian are presumed dead after the avalanche near western Europe's highest peak.
The accident has brought the total number of deaths from avalanches in the Alps this year to 100, making it the worst year since 1970.
