and preserved in ice. Number 20 of life forms in a subglacial lake. Life really does seem to find a way. Lake Vostok is a huge subglacial lake in Antarctica located beneath the East Antarctic Ice Sheet. The lake has been sealed under 13,000 feet of ice for millions of years. Russian scientists say they have drilled through more than 12,000 feet of Antarctic ice to reach a submerged lake that has been closed for 20 million years. They tout the achievement as being on par with the race to the moon of the 1960s. meaning no sunlight, unimaginably freezing temperatures and immense physical pressure from the surface, but studies of ice cores have concluded the lake could harbor exotic microbes NASA's chief scientist says the knowledge gained could transform the way we think about life.

In fact, one team

found

evidence of more than 3,500 species. It is theorized that this small society lives off its own recycled carbon, however, the results are debated with other scientists believing that the samples were contaminated here you see the first image at the bottom of the Whillans sublation lake a very fine sediment formed by the movement of the glacier over the rocks number 19 a Martian meteorite on December 27, 1984 a team from Antarctica Searching for meteorites found a small fragment of Martian rock buried in the ice now known as Allan Hills 84001. The meteorite weighs just over four pounds and is estimated to have formed from molten rock more than four billion years ago.

This meteorite had some glass inclusions and when they collected those glass particles and degassed them by heating them, they got a sample of the Martian atmosphere. That meteorite made national headlines in 1996 when scientists claimed to have found fossils of microscopic bacteria inside the rock, apparently confirming that life once existed there. However, this claim was hugely controversial within the broader scientific community and was ultimately rejected due to a lack of substantial evidence. I am determined that the American space program will put all its intellectual power and technological prowess behind the search for more evidence of life on Mars.

Life on Mars or not, a four-billion-year-old rock from Mars is still pretty spooky on its own number 18 An entire mountain range located in East Antarctica is the mountain range's subglacial weapon gates discovered by geophysicist Soviet Gregory Gunn Bourtsev, they are said to be the same size as the Alps, rising to approximately 9,000 feet high and running for approximately 750 miles, the only thing is that you cannot see the mountains themselves as they are buried under 2,000 feet of ice. We don't know about you, but we find the concept of an entire mountain range buried under 2,000 feet of ice that strangely disturbs the land really is a fascinating place, isn't it? 17 Inca children sacrificed in 1999 Three mummies were found on the icy summit of Yakko, a stratovolcano located in the Atacama Desert.

These mummies are known as the children of you Yakko and could be the best preserved mummies in the world. The virgins of the sun were famous throughout the Inca Empire. The chronicles record that each year a special group was chosen to serve the Sun God. It is the body of a teenage girl and the other two are children believed to be between six and seven years old some could be quite young in age they could be between six and eight years old some may be 10 years old their beauty was one of the reasons for selecting them and in some cases even their parents could have offered them it is assumed that they are victims of a human sacrifice intended to ensure a rich harvest and that they were killed around the In the 1500s they were heavily drugged with alcohol and coke, placed five feet underground while they slept, and left to die.

A combination of freezing temperatures and extremely dry air has helped preserve their bodies for centuries. It was if we were afraid on some level to wake up this mummy because she seemed so alive. Number 16 Yuka the mammoth, you know, imagine coming across the mummified corpse of a damn woolly mammoth, that's exactly what happened to the local population of Yuka, a village near the Laptev Sea in Siberia, a yellow Tequesta comment for a Sir. Eltham, unique national worker, even the estate passed Kearney was a cabin of his honesty, the next rock tour found in 2010, the mammoth died approximately 39,000 years ago, it is even between six and eight years old, it weighed approximately five tons, it is now on display in Moscow and is quite creepy to say the least, you can clearly make out his face and stringy strands of light brown hair still cling to his body.

It is considered the best preserved mammoth in the world and we can certainly see why number 15 is sadly a body. We're not talking about an ancient mummy for this one. In 2017, a hiker discovered a corpse in a crevasse on New Zealand's Fox Glacier and contacted police, while some believed the corpse was decades old. The fact that it was found in a crevasse was addressed by glaciologist Andrew McIntosh. to assume that she was no more than five years old, his assumption was correct. Further study found that the body was that of Cynthia Charlton, a British woman who died in a helicopter crash in November 2015.

She was one of seven victims of the crash, which also included her. husband number 14 mexican climbers know here's a spooky story for you a climber on the slopes of orizaba peak in mexico slipped and came face to face with a mummified head and arm sticking out of the snow an expedition to recover a mummified body buried in the snow on the highest mountain in Mexico his plan for early Thursday morning the mummified body was found by a group of hikers on March 1 on the north side of Orizaba Peak this is how the CSI episodes begin The authorities were called and finally two frozen mummies plus the body were discovered.

The skull and hand were discovered when one of the mountaineers was approaching the summit. He fell about thirty meters before attaching an ax to this note, an 81-year-old man named Luis. Espinoza stated that he knew about the mummies as he was part of a tragic expedition that claimed three lives in 1959, recognizing one of the men by his shirt and his ring adorned with his initials. It's certainly nice for Luis to finally have some peace, but imagine being the guy who found a mummified head sticking out of the snow number 13. Remnants of Andrew's Arctic expedition in a late 19th century Swedish aeronautical essay over Judea that He set out to reach the North Pole in a hot air balloon.

Many experts claimed that this was a terrible idea, but today optimism and nationalist pride have caused them to ignore his warnings. There is nothing to understand once we have enough speed we will be free from the earth this is the dream of all humans he and two companions left in July 1897 and were never heard from again it was not until 1930 that their remains were found by An expedition studying the Venere glaciers included in the discovery preserved photographic film that allowed us to see the tragedy first-hand, including photos of the crashed balloon. The balloon crashed just two days after takeoff and the men had traveled back to the south died approximately three months later, number twelve, a mummy head preserved in 2017, archaeologists found mummies buried at the Zelan er burial site, near the Russian town of Celli Cart, they found two mummies, one of an adult woman and the other of a baby.

These mummies are estimated to be 900 years old and are said to be part of an unknown medieval culture. What was interesting was that the female mummy is the only woman in the cemetery, leading some to assume that she was an elite member of society. It's also interesting and creepy because only her head has been preserved. On her head you can still see her hair and eyelashes and her face has a green tint due to the copper in which she was buried at number 11 Three members of Franklin's expedition Many are familiar with Franklin's ill-fated expedition from the novel Dan Simmons the terror and its television adaptation pulls the ropes and completes the error three members of the expedition John Torrington William Brain and John Hartnell died shortly after departure and before the ship was trapped in the ice they were buried on the island coastal Nunavut in 1846 and exhumed in 1984, more than a century later, in 1984, archaeologists exhumed the bodies to try to discover how they died.

What the anthropologists found were remarkably preserved, if incredibly disturbing, corpses. Her faces are contorted, her eyes frozen and her skin horribly frozen. Now imagine opening the coffins. and seeing the number 10 ice caves and frozen waves, we don't know if this is spectacular or strangely terrifying. Iceland's Vantaa Glacier is the second largest ice sheet in Europe and covers about 8% of the country where we are in the middle of the melting Vana Glacier. and scattered throughout this glacier are enormous vertical sinkholes that are treacherous, plunging hundreds and even thousands of feet into the ground. It's a pretty famous glacier and has been seen in many pieces of pop culture over the years, including Game of Thrones and the James Bond movie. a view of a carnage beneath a glacier there are huge ice caves with ceilings and walls that look like giant waves frozen in time they are actually created by geothermal springs it's surreal it's beautiful but it's also a little disturbing talk about feeling claustrophobic this satellite image taken 1986 and this 128 years later Iceland is melting and that water has to go somewhere number nine Otzi the Iceman XE is perhaps the most famous natural mummy in the world found in 1991 on the border between Austria and Italy the sea of earth is the naturally mummified corpse of a man who died around 3300 BC.

C. I think the Ice Man is very special because, on the one hand, it is perfectly preserved and really gives us a unique insight into this era that we don't know much about about the mummy that was actually found by German tourists. They were walking along a mountain trail in the terrestrial-style Alps when they found the top half of the mummy protruding from the ice, the bare head and shoulders of a human corpse, its left arm twisted beneath its body, the leathery skin still covered his bones, it is currently believed that the man bled to death after being hit by an arrow.

His skinny, discolored and leathery-looking body is now on display at the Museum of Archeology in South Tyrol, Italy. It is also very interesting to understand the past, where we come from and how. They were already able to adapt to the environment, how they managed to live without all these modern technologies that we have and so on. Number eight, a mysterious pyramid. In recent years, archaeologists have found pyramids around the world that had been lost for centuries and were mistaken for natural ones. formations or hidden in the most unlikely places The internet was abuzz in 2016 when a mysterious pyramid-like structure was photographed in Antarctica, some people speculated that humans once inhabited Antarctica and built pyramids like the Egyptians and conspiracy theorists they went straight to the aliens if this annek dog pyramid in Antarctica is an artificial structure it would probably be the oldest pyramid on our planet it was creepy and intriguing even if we knew the explanation was going to be boring and it turns out the pyramid was just the top of a buried mountain that jutted out. out of the snow, as Aquino of the University of California hilariously and succinctly put it, this is just a mountain that looks like a pyramid, still kind of cool, we suppose, but not as cool as an ancient Antarctic Society, pure fiction, the so-called pyramids. in Google Earth image or simply mountains, its pyramidal shape is called number seven dinosaur bones.

It turns out that many dinosaur bones have been found in the frozen tundra of Antarctica. The first were discovered in 1986 by Argentine geologists Eduardo Oliveira and Roberto SKA. So who unearthed remains of an ankylosaur now known as Antarctic elta Olivera? These bones were found on James Ross Island, where the bones of Trina Sora, other dinosaurs found in Antarctica include those of Ag Lacey Allosaurus and the massive carnivore Cryolophosaurus, but it's nothing like these. dinosaurs roamed an icy landscape instead of small fragments of bone eroded from rock, they began to find large intact skeletons in Antarctica, as we know it, formed about 25 million years ago, long after the dinosaurs extinct, before it was part of a supercontinent called Gondwana and was actuallypretty tropical number six ancient bacteria scientists digging in the arctic permafrost of Alaska made a surprising discovery in 2005 they found ancient bacteria that had been completely frozen in ice for about 32,000 years and although they may seem quite harmless this ice could be hiding a secret deadly: cryogenically preserved bacteria and viruses that could be hundreds of thousands of years old to make

things

even creepier.

This bacteria came to life after being thawed and astrobiologist Richard Hoover claims that they immediately began swimming when the ice melted. According to NASA, this made the bacteria the first fully described validated species ever found alive in ancient ice. Extremophiles are now known as Pleistocene ium flesh bacteria and they are absolutely terrifying. They came back to life after 30,000 years here in the permafrost alive. Hani Optus material lava flora was a do it now food here fabric as possible flight number five mysterious holes in 2016 and 2017 people around the world were scared when massive holes appeared in the Antarctic ice these holes were found in the Weddell Sea and one covered an area of ​​31,000 square miles, making it about the size of Maine.

Now that there is a large hole, experts deduce that it was Apple Enya, which is a fancy term for an open water hole in the middle of the sea ice and while scientists knew what the hole was they didn't know how it got there, as polynyas are typically found near the coast now known as the wet zone. Enya opal had not been seen since 1976 it was probably caused by an intense winter cyclone number four bloody looking water if this listing proves anything it is that Antarctica is the place of nightmares Blood Falls are an obsession for many people, I mean there is nothing else like this on earth, it's like this really visceral feature just jumps out at you, where else can you find what it looks like blood coming out of the side of a glacier?

The area is appropriately named Blood Falls and flows from Taylor. glacier on the surface of Lake Bonney, the falls were discovered in 1911 by Australian geologist Griffith Taylor Pince The Taylor Glacier After, presumably, freaking out, Taylor attributed the blood to red algae, so there are actually things living on the land Oh yeah, the lakes on the lake ice on the rocks, there are actually worms in the soil, this microscopic worm are nematodes, it was a good guess, but the blood is actually just salt water contaminated with large amounts of rust. iron, yes, blood. Falls are essentially rusty water gushing out of a glacier, it's still horrible even though virus number three is one.

The main fear of global warming is that it may release unknown pathogens into the air, some of which may have the ability to seriously hinder and endanger humanity. In December 2016, a remote community in Siberia experienced a mysterious outbreak. 90 people were hospitalized, including a 12-year-old child. He died in 2015. Researchers from China and the United States traveled to the Gulia Ice Sheet in Tibet and drilled a 164-foot hole into the ice to study samples. What they found was a nightmare: no less than 33 viruses, 28 of which had never been seen by humans. In the eyes of scientists, scientists fear that as the permafrost melts it could uncover all kinds of diseases that we thought we had under control, according to environmental virologist Chantal, a Belgian appointment, we are a long way from sampling the full diversity of viruses on Earth, which is really disturbing considering 28 were found in a Tibetan glacier alone dr.

Cheever I Think I'm Sick Number Two World War I soldiers During World War I the Allies fought against the Austro-Hungarian Empire along the snowy mountains of the Alps. Thousands and thousands of soldiers died from avalanches and freezing temperatures that sometimes dropped to -22. Fahrenheit in the early 2010s, the mountain's ice began to melt and began depositing long-lost frozen artifacts around the area, these included still legible weapons, love letters, and dozens of mummified corpses.

Rescuers were sent to search for the plane and its tail was found sticking out of the snow on Mount Gannett at an altitude of 8,000 feet, the crash caused an avalanche and buried the wreckage and rescue efforts were unable to dig out. through the thick snow.

The rescue was abandoned and the remains were lost for the next 60 years. It was not until June 2012 that they were rediscovered by the Alaska Army National Guard, during a training mission, discovered the plane's survival raft on the Colony Glacier, approximately 14 miles from the crash site. This led to an investigation that discovered the remains nearby. Do you agree with our selections?
