The National Park Service is working to identify two campers who were found dead within Isle Royale National Park early Monday morning.
Responding to multiple reports of bodies found in the park on Sunday afternoon, park rangers hiked more than ten miles throughout the night to a remote location and made the discovery.
An NPS spokesperson said the deceased were found at a backcountry campground within the park. It’s still unclear exactly where the bodies were located and the identities and causes of death of both people are unknown at this point.
As a part of their investigation, officials are using both ground and air resources.
Isle Royale National Park is located within Lake Superior, and is made up of hundreds of different islands, including Isle Royale, which is technically part of Michigan but is closer to Minnesota’s North Shore.
It is known for its rugged terrain and isolated location, popular with adventure-loving hikers and paddlers.
