Mt. Fuji still snow-capped, delay likely in climbing season

TOKYO, Japan - The upper reaches of Mt. Fuji remain covered with snow despite the arrival of summer. Authorities say the traditional July 1 start of the climbing season is likely to be delayed as the four routes to the 3,776-meter peak are still buried by late-falling snow. The photo was taken June 23 from a Kyodo News helicopter.
