Two Finnish climbers died on Kebnekaise.

Two Finnish climbers died on Tuesday while ascending Kebnekaise, Sweden's highest mountain.
The police said a man in his late 20s and a woman in her early 20s had been crushed by a boulder.

None of the other three members of the climbing team was hurt.

Riku Rönnholm, the chairman of the Finnish Paratroopers' Guild, told the Finnish News Agency (STT) that the climb had been organised by the guild.

Rescue efforts were hampered by extreme weather, with a helicopter delayed by high winds and poor visibility.
Hans Norén, the head of the Kebnekaise mountain station, said the Finnish team consisted of experienced climbers who had camped on Kebnekaise before.

Tuesday's incident is the second fatal accident to have occurred on Kebnekaise this year.
