in ice number 10. John Torrington's Ice Mummy Back in 1845, two ships set sail from england in search of the northwest During the passage, the ships carried 134 crew between them, however, they became stuck and none of the men returned home. This disaster is known today as the Lost Franklin Expedition and is one of the

most

tragic and epic Arctic shipwrecks in history. Nobody survived. There were many. Cannibalism continues and the last days of these brave sailors must have been absolutely terrifying.

The remains of those who died on the Franklin expedition were discovered in the 1980s. Well, not all the bodies, but definitely some of the bodies found belonged to John Torrington. an ice mummy with his face still frozen in his final minutes of terror as archaeologists freed him from her frozen tomb on Baffin Island. It was thanks to John Torrington and the other ship ice mummies that experts were able to piece together what exactly happened. These guys had suffered from lead poisoning, many of them had starved to death, and yes, cannibalism was confirmed by knife marks on several human bones, but what's really interesting is that even though the ice mummies were found in the 1980s, the actual ships that arrived trapped in ice, the hms erebus and hms terror were not discovered until 2014 and 2016 and a canadian archeology team explored the interior of the hms terror for the first time only in 2019, if you are wondering why the bodies were not found in the remains is because they had tried to escape and get to safety, but of course they were literally in the worst place to try to do so and died trying.

Microscopic organism number nine, scientists have thawed a live microscopic organism from Russian permafrost. This tiny organism survived for about 24,000 years, solidified under ice, and may hold the secret to cryogenically freezing human tissue someday in the future. Scientists already knew that organisms could live for a couple of hundred years. What no one thought was that an organism could live. frozen for over twenty thousand according to stas malavin of the institute of psychochemical and biological problems, this is the

most

definitive proof yet that multicellular animals could withstand prolonged periods of time in cryptobiosis, which is a fancy word for being frozen , but what kind?

The type of organism was this, it is known as a rotifer or a type of tiny plankton found in fresh and salt water. The researchers found the small planktonic organism using a rotary drill and taking samples 11 feet (3.3 meters) underground at the bottom of the Alazea River. Where the permafrost maintains a consistently cold temperature of about 14 degrees Fahrenheit year-round, the researchers found several dozen organisms and, once thawed, they quickly fed on bacteria and reproduced colonies of clones. This is one of the only living things that has ever been found capable of surviving frozen for a long time.

There is a type of Antarctic moss that can grow back after spending 400 years trapped in ice and there are nematodes that can revive after spending 30. 000 years trapped in sediments although nematodes are single-celled and quite simple number eight Prehistoric arrows Archaeologists have unearthed approximately 70 aviation shafts plus some textiles, shoes, reindeer bones and much more on the side of a mountain in Norway, about 240 miles (386 kilometers) from the capital city of Oslo. Based on carbon dating, we know that the oldest of these arrows came from 4100 BC, about 6,000 years ago, the most recent arrow dates back to 1300 AD, only about 700 years ago.

What is really surprising if you think about it is that for about 5,000 years the inhabitants of Norway used the same type of weapon. simple arrows and a simple bow and they even hunted reindeer in the same place and suddenly everything changed the reindeer disappeared and the arrows were replaced by nuclear weapons because the arrows were discovered in an area of ​​melting ice researchers are usually a little confused when a A chunk of ice melting everything beneath it comes from about the same time, but the artifacts revealed by the melting ice here were spread over a period of about 5,000 years.

The oldest artifacts are supposed to be at the bottom of a chunk of ice and the newer artifacts are on top, but this was not the case here, the arrows were all mixed up and had to be dated in a laboratory, some of them The arrows still had their sharpened heads attached and researchers said they were made from a variety of different materials, including iron muscular layer. and bone number seven swiss artifacts global warming continues to reveal once-lost artifacts like the amazing relics found in sweden due to melting glaciers because switzerland is a country full of mountains and ice, it's no surprise that some of the The best things found come straight from Switzerland and the Swiss Alps, it is currently believed that by 2090 there will not be a single glacier left in Switzerland, which means there will be many more artifacts.

One of the most interesting artefacts discovered recently was a stone age moccasin and later it is believed that a wooden statue came from it. from the year 100 B.C. with a flat, featureless face and a creepy, armless body, there was even a hiker who stumbled upon the lost possessions of a Neolithic hunter who lived three thousand years ago and discovered leg coverings, fragments of a bow, and a bow case. arrows that would have been used to store arrows for hunting on the go, what else do you think the melting ice in Switzerland will reveal?

Number six, too much mercury This year alone, researchers discovered that melting ice in Greenland contained a ridiculously high level of mercury, raising concerns about where exactly this volatile element comes from. The researchers published their findings in the journal Nature Geoscience, stating that the Greenland ice sheet could be a source of pure mercury and if you're wondering why this is so alarming it's because mercury is one of the most powerful neurotoxins known to the world. man. We've all heard of mercury poisoning at one time or another and it's no joke. Meltwater extracted from the ice sheet in 2018 has shown that mercury levels in Greenland are actually comparable to some of the most populated places on Earth.

This is what makes mercury so alarming that it persists almost everywhere and circulates between the atmosphere and the environment, but the bioaccumulation of mercury is a big problem within ecosystems: mercury comes from volcanoes, coal plants , mines, things that are already terrible for the environment. When small organisms like plankton accidentally consume mercury, they transmit it to larger organisms that have also already consumed mercury. What this means is that when the large fish eats the medium fish after the medium fish eats the small fish, the large fish consumes the greatest volume of mercury and suffers the most devastating effects, for example, the largemouth bass. freshwater and swordfish are known to accumulate up to 1 million times more mercury than is found in the water around them.

The big problem with what is happening in Greenland with the mercury found within the ice is that a As the ice melts it will release huge deposits of mercury into the world's oceans and, my friends, bad news number five is the largest iceberg in Antarctica. The largest piece of ice ever recently separated from the continent and moved away as an iceberg. It is known as Iceberg A76 and according to NASA, it is the largest iceberg currently floating on our planet. It is a type of tabular iceberg, so called because from the air looks a lot like a table, but it is a very big table, the iceberg measures approximately 105 miles, 169 kilometers long and 15 miles, 24 kilometers wide, it is larger than Rhode Island and it is bobbing in the ocean, it is slowly melting even though the iceberg is melting, won.

It does not cause the sea level to rise, this is because it is already displacing a large amount of water. It's like an ice cube in your drink, even when the ice cube melts, your drink doesn't overflow. Laura Garish of the British Antarctic Survey even said that the iceberg. it's just part of the natural cycle and probably wasn't even caused by climate change; However, this does not mean that we should not fear Antarctica warming; There is still enough ice on the continent to raise global sea levels by 200 feet 61 meters cave bear number four the pristine remains of an ice age cave bear have been found in Russia and they are astonishing the cave bear The caveman is the only one of its kind that has been discovered with soft tissue.

These creatures are usually found as nothing more than fossilized skeletons. The discovery of the bear was made by a couple of reindeer herders in the far north of Siberia and the Lyakovsky Islands. Scientists from Northeastern Federal University in Yakutsk even said the bear still had its nose intact, which is unheard of for a species that has been extinct for 15,000 years, but what exactly is a cave bear? This animal lived around the same time as the woolly mammoth, woolly rhinoceros and saber-toothed tiger and was a monstrous animal like a normal animal. bear, but much larger and much stronger, but like all of these other prehistoric animals, they became extinct at the end of the last ice age, this particular bear was trapped in the ice between twenty thousand and forty thousand years ago when died and, although researchers haven't actually been able to visit the site because it is so remote, they hope there may be even more incredible animal remains frozen beneath the permafrost waiting to be discovered by finding more animals in such excellent states of preservation. are much closer to bringing them back to life number three frozen viking box glacial ice melting along the side of a mountain passage has revealed a large number of ancient viking artifacts one of the artifacts has been a bit more intriguing than the others that researchers found Wooden box with the lid still firmly closed.

It once belonged to a Viking of unknown origin who lived in ancient Norway. Archaeologists opened the lid to reveal what was hidden inside. When investigators opened the box, they were surprised to discover that it contained no gold jewelry. or anything else we might consider valuable, instead the old Viking box contained chunks of beeswax, in other words the box contained nothing but boring old candles, something that disappointed researchers with the program. of glacial archeology who dated the box to between the years 1475 and 1635. This means that it is not even that old and may not have even belonged to an actual Viking.

If the box is only 386 years old, at the lower end of the spectrum, the Vikings were already gone 400 years ago instead of being brave Viking warriors. The beeswax in the box was probably produced by a farmer in the summer and then transported across the icy road where it was lost and frozen until archaeologists unearthed it. Number two mysterious ice ship. A ship has been discovered in the ice of Antarctica, but this. It is not your typical shipwreck from what we can understand. The ship measures approximately 400 feet (122 meters) long and is trapped beneath ice and snow. The massive structure was spotted using Google Earth.

The ship looks eerily like a cruise ship with chimneys sprouting from it. its center and cabin windows along the sides Unfortunately, no one really knows what the object found is on Google Earth. It could absolutely be a monster of a ship somehow turned on its side and covered in snow, but if that's the case, how did it disappear without anyone doing it? The next thing you know, if a cruise ship had disappeared in Antarctica, everyone would know about it. Sure, someone would have seen something. Some people have suggested that the mysterious ship could be a remnant of technology from a Nazi base.

Others say it could have something to do with aliens. I don't know and it's not like anyone can quickly go down and take a look for themselves at ice number one 19. In 2021, scientists identified the number 19 form of water ice according to life sciences, ice is incredibly rare, it is composed of exotic crystals that form. At very low temperatures and very high pressures, researchers say Ice 19, as it is called, only exists in laboratory experiments, but they also say it could help humans understand more about what happens deep in the mantle.terrestrial and on other planets and moons in the solar system that are significantly colder than Earth naming a new type of ice is not a simple process, it must have a completely unique crystal structure.

Scientists also need to identify the simplest repeating structure of ice where all the atoms are within that structure and what is the symmetry of the ice structure is really complicated, for example ice 1 has 6 sided crystals and is located commonly throughout the Earth. That's why snowflakes are shown with 6 sides. Ice 19 only has 4 sides and can also only be created in a negative temperature of 247 degrees Fahrenheit is not a normal temperature on our planet, but it is a fairly average temperature in space. By understanding ice 19 and how it works, scientists were able to discover how celestial bodies like Uranus and Neptune form.
