KATHMANDU, Nepal—An Irish climber has died and an Indian is missing after falling into a crevasse in two separate incidents on Mount Annapurna, the world’s 10th highest mountain, an expedition organizer said Tuesday.

Another Indian climber fell ill on the way down from the 8,091-meter (26,540-foot) summit but miraculously survived after spending the night in harsh conditions on the mountain.
