A camera left in the Yukon by a legendary explorer in 1937 is found 85 years later

In 1937, legendary mountaineers Bradford Washburn and Robert Bates were exploring in Canada's frigid Yukon region when they had to abandon their gear in order quickly escape. Nearly 85 years later, the cache of gear they left behind has been found – including Washburn's camera. 

Professional mountain explorer Griffin Post told CBS News he first heard about the abandoned cache in the book "Escape from Lucania." Author David Roberts writes about where Washburn and Bates may have left the cache of gear in the Kluane National Park and Reserve.

"But nobody really new for sure, and that doubt and that possibility that it was still there is what I went on," Post said.
