Description
Here are five strange things that have been found frozen in ice:
A 40,000-year-old baby woolly mammoth named Lyuba, discovered in Siberia in 2007. She was so well preserved that scientists could even examine her stomach contents and DNA.
A 500-year-old Inca girl known as the Maiden, found on the summit of Mount Llullaillaco in Argentina in 1999. She was sacrificed as part of a ritual called capacocha and was frozen in a state of sleep, with her clothes and hair intact.
A 12,400-year-old puppy that was frozen in permafrost in Siberia. The puppy still had its fur, teeth, and whiskers intact, and may have been a pet of an ancient human hunter.
A giant virus that was dormant for 30,000 years in Siberian permafrost. The virus was revived by scientists in a laboratory and infected amoebas, raising concerns about the potential dangers of melting ice.
