Frozen But Alive
Not all the things that scientists find in the ice are necessarily dead. This was the case with the next discovery. Occasionally, these findings aren’t the result of frozen mishaps, but instead normal changes to the environment. For example, alligators can survive in freezing circumstances for a certain amount of time. While on the other hand, you and I will more than likely die from frostbite. This frozen state of temporary hibernation lets them live through these temperamental conditions. If only we could do the same.
Is It A Plane?
It is also not that unusual to find crashed technology in ice. But even when it does happen, it still comes as a major surprise. In 1952, this plane was said to be bound for Anchorage, Alaska but crashed into a glacier instead! It was reported that it caused the deaths of 11 crew members and 41 passengers. Additionally, the dangerous conditions made it impossible for rescuers and police officers to retrieve the wreckage. It took another 50 years after the glacier had melted enough for a salvage mission to ensue.
