A search operation is under way for a British traveller who has gone missing in New Zealand.
Eli Sweeting, who is 25 and originally from Bristol, failed to return on Sunday after a solo hike up Mitre Peak, a steep mountain in the Milford Sound area of Fiordland National Park, on the country's South Island.
Since the experienced climber was reported missing that evening, police, search and rescue teams, local travel companies and residents have been working to find him.
His sister, Serena Sweeting, said: "Being in the mountains and adventure is what my brother lives for and he spends lots of time preparing for these adventures and training."
