You Wouldn't Believe What Scientists Found Frozen in Glaciers and Lakes

Modern Objects

Glaciers don’t specifically hold ancient artifacts, but during the change of the seasons, they tend to take on new objects and refreeze over them. For instance, this photograph of Earnest Shackelton was just found frozen into a glacier in the Arctic. His ship crashed while carrying cargo in 1939, the entire crew died but this photo remained in the ice until 2009.
