CANAZEI, Italy—Rescue teams resumed the search on Tuesday for 13 climbers who were missing after part of a glacier gave way high in the Italian Alps on Sunday, killing at least seven people.

Hopes of finding survivors were fading more than 36 hours after the avalanche took place. Three people from the Czech Republic were among those unaccounted for.
