The most amazing things found in ice. million lake filled with life

“We successfully entered the wardroom, managed to visit several cabins, and found a food warehouse with plates and one can of canned food on a shelf. We noticed two bottles of wine, tables and empty shelves. We found a table with drawers with contents pulled out,” he said. The Guardian Adrian Shimnowski, a representative of the Arctic Research Foundation, one of the organization's leaders, from aboard the research ship Martin Bergmann.

Researchers managed to get inside the ship last Sunday, but fragments of the ship were discovered a little earlier - on September 3, near Beachy Island in Nunavut Bay thanks to a tip from someone participating in the expedition Inuit. At the same time, the ship was found 96 kilometers south of the place where, according to scientists, the ship was covered in ice (between King William and Victoria islands).

According to Shimnovsky, the ship was preserved in excellent condition at a depth of 24 meters: “If you lifted it and pumped out the water, it could still float.” All three masts of the ship are broken, but still standing. The ship's hatches were closed, and all the gear was complete. In addition, the metal plating of the ship, which was supposed to withstand the pressure, survived arctic ice. Initially, the sailors believed that the ship lay on the starboard side at an angle of 45 degrees, but after the third dive they discovered that it lay flat on the bottom of the sea.

“This suggests that the ship sank smoothly,” Shimnovsky said.

Jim Balzilli, Canadian businessman and founder of the Arctic Research Foundation, is confident: this find is historical. “Given the location of the wreckage and the condition of the wreck, it is almost certain that HMS Terror was promptly battened down by the surviving crew, who then boarded HMS Erebus and sailed south, where they eventually suffered tragic fate", says Balzilli. The ship "Erebus", which allegedly carried John Franklin himself, was discovered in September 2014. The remains of the ship were discovered at the bottom at a depth of 11 meters, near King William Island.

John Franklin's expedition (1845-1847), which consisted of two ships, the Erebus and the Terror, was supposed to cross northwest passage Arctic from Atlantic to Pacific Ocean. At that time, the passage had already been mapped from the east and west, but had not been conquered by man. Franklin and his crew of 129 sailors set sail from Britain in May 1845. The ships were last seen in the waters of Baffin Bay in August.

Rescue expeditions, which were sent to the supposed crash site over the next 11 years, partly helped to restore the picture of what happened. The sailors came to the conclusion that both ships were covered in ice and abandoned by their crews. All 129 people died trying to reach Fort Resolution in Canada.

Since the canned food of the expedition members turned out to be spoiled, some of them resorted to cannibalism - this is confirmed by the words of local Eskimos, as well as cuts on the bones of skeletons found on King William Island at the end of the 20th century.

In the 21st century, the main initiator of the search for sunken ships was former Canadian Minister Stephen Harper. Canadian expeditions to the Arctic were part of a broader plan to protect Canadian sovereignty in the Arctic sector and explore energy resources- including huge reserves oil and natural gas. The mission was led by Parks Canada, a government agency tasked with protecting and nationally presenting Canada's examples of natural and cultural heritage.

Parks Canada must now confirm the authenticity of the Terror's wreckage by visiting the crash site or examining photographs.

Interpretation of dreams from

The world is pretty amazing. Even in our modern times, it is full of such hidden secrets as whole underground cities. It also suggests some seriously desolate, brutal terrain that we haven't yet explored.

It turns out there are also places where the world has completely hidden some amazing and strange things from us, but thanks global warming we are rediscovering many of them. Some, however, are still buried to this day.

10,000 ft mountain

Look at ice sheets, with which it is covered most of Antarctica, and you might assume that this continent is quite cold, boring and above all flat. But buried under this centuries-old layer of ice mountain range.

Scientists have been studying the Gamburtsev Mountains for 50 years. Since they're buried under miles of ice, it's no wonder we don't know too much about them. According to LiveScience, it's only recently that advances in imaging technology have allowed us to peer beneath the ice. Imagine the surprise when scientists found a series of mountains with peaks up to 10,000 feet high, stretching over 750 miles.

The researchers also found magnetic anomalies, which tell scientists that this hidden mountain range may be billions of years old.

25 million year old lake filled with life

In 2012, Russian scientists drilled through more than 2 miles of ice and stumbled upon something strange buried deep beneath the frozen landscape of Antarctica. It was the exact opposite of frozen water. Lake Vostok is the continent's largest subglacial lake, which looks like something that shouldn't exist in nature.

According to the BBC, Lake Vostok exists in complete isolation for millions of years, and when scientists analyzed water samples, they found bacteria that were completely different from the bacteria we are familiar with. There is also another lake beneath the Antarctic ice sheet, similarly isolated and harboring primitive life forms.

Countless grasshoppers

There is no more fascinating picture than the pristine glacier. It's about about a neoplasm located in Montana. And if you're familiar with the history of the American Midwest, you probably know that locusts and grasshoppers had a tendency to destroy things around them. They violated the integrity of a huge glacier.

According to the Montana Office of Tourism, numerous tests (1,914) of grasshopper specimens have confirmed that they belonged to an extinct species that has been extinct for 200 years. Scientists are almost certain that the ill-fated swarm was passing through the mountains when they were caught in a snowstorm. The grasshoppers died and then froze in the glacier. Grasshopper Glacier isn't the only place in the Beartooth Mountains where you might also see frozen locusts. Ice Hopper also stores the remains of these insects.

Battles in the First World War

According to The Telegraph, during the First World War more people died from extreme cold and avalanches than from fighting. Thousands of people, many of them teenagers, froze to death in the mountains and their bodies have been identified. But global warming has begun to reveal the mummified remains. As the melting continues, more and more bodies are discovered. In 2004, the bodies of three Habsburg soldiers were found by a local mountain guide. Historians have even uncovered an entire cabin preserved under the ice, complete with ammunition, steel helmets, clothing and the bodies of men who fought in the war.

Items such as dilapidated engines were recovered, as well as touching personal items such as photographs, newspaper clippings and pieces of trenches. Some of the bodies were even identified.

Iceman Otzi

According to the Museum of Archeology of South Tyrol, about ice man reported as a victim of a modern mountaineering disaster. But such a statement is far from the truth.

The find has been studied for many years. National Geographic The man found has at least 19 relatives living in the Tyrol region of Austria. Scientists also claim that Otzi had a hard life: he developed gum disease, artery disease, gallstones were found and high level arsenic, and he also suffered injuries from frostbite. He supposedly had Lyme disease. An ax was found on him, and his body was covered with tattoos.

Lizardfish Graveyard

According to LiveScience, a group of international researchers headed to National Park Torres del Paine in Chile to identify 46 complete specimens of creatures called ichthyosaurs. They existed 100-150 million years ago. There are specimens that include soft tissue and embryos. These are not small fish, as the largest skeleton is approximately 16 feet long.

Researchers believe that there was big disaster, which buried fish lizards first in sediment and then in a glacier. According to scientists, the entire flock was caught in some kind of avalanche.

Deer corpses

In 2016, global warming led to the melting of glaciers, under which many years of dead deer carcasses lay. The discovery was made in Western Siberia. The animals were infected anthrax, and according to CNN, the introduction of new deer led to the almost immediate death of 1,200 deer living nearby. Scientists believe that the animals not only became victims of the infection, but also transmitted it to 15,000 people leading nomadic image life.

Eating fish by fish

Two brothers were fishing on Lake Waweese in Indiana when they saw a pair of frozen fish. No one on the internet seemed to believe it when the bizarre photo was posted by fishermen. To prove the internet haters wrong, they posted a video of them cutting fish out of a frozen lake.

Iron Age tunic

In 2015, Science Nordic reported on a strange phenomenon that was once again brought to light by global warming. As glaciers melt in Norway, archaeologists are uncovering things that were hidden by Iron Age people. The Oplann County Mountains contain more than 2,000 artifacts, making them the Iron Age equivalent of Las Vegas.

Most of the artifacts contained arrows and horseshoes. But scientists have also found mittens, and in 2011, researchers from the University of Oslo and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology discovered a tunic dating back to 230-390 AD. e.

Seeds that are 32,000 years old

Scientists were able to grow plants from materials taken from 32,000-year-old seeds that were covered in ice.

By the time people found them, the seeds were 124 feet below the permafrost layer, but the researchers were still able to recover viable plant tissue inside the seeds. They sprouted and grew into flowers, which in turn produced a whole new crop of seeds.

Treasures in the mountains

The story would probably have been unreal if it had not been reported by the BBC. It begins in 2013, when an anonymous climber approached some French employees law enforcement and turned over a small box containing 100 precious stones, including rubies, emeralds and sapphires. The cost of the find was somewhere around $300,000.

A climber found them in the ice on Mont Blanc, and now we know that the reason for the box's presence in the mountains should be sought in the Air India flight that crashed on the mountain in January 1966. The crash claimed the lives of 117 passengers. In the years following the fall, pieces of debris and cargo were found. After the vast majority of honest climbers returned the jewelry to the authorities, the latter began to look for the rightful owner. Nothing can be easy and two different families claimed that the box belonged to them.

The ice of our planet contains quite a few secrets that we have yet to unravel. What was found amazes the imagination, and only spurs interest for further searches.

Researchers from the University of Marseille (France) together with Russian colleagues from the Institute of Physico-Chemical and biological problems found in permafrost new virus.

The mummy of a 14-15 year old girl was discovered on the slope of the Nevado Sabancaya volcano in the vastness of Peru, moreover, in 1999. Experts believe the teenager and several other children were selected for sacrifice because of their beauty.
Three mummies were found, which, unlike their embalmed Egyptian “colleagues,” were deep frozen. The body of a seven-year-old boy was also studied, but scientists have not yet decided to examine the remains of a six-year-old girl. It was probably hit by lightning at some point, which may affect the accuracy of the research results.

Most likely, three children were sacrificed, as evidenced by the artifacts located next to them: gold, silver, clothes, bowls of food and an extravagant headdress made of white feathers of unknown birds.

Historians theorize that the children were chosen by the Incas for their beauty. In previous studies, it was established that before being sacrificed, children were fed “elite” foods for a year - maize and dried llama meat.

This mummy was nicknamed the “Altai Princess” and it is assumed that Ukoka died in the 5th-3rd centuries BC and belongs to the Pazyryk culture of the Altai region.

Near the Greenlandic settlement of Kilakitsoq, located on west bank the largest island in the world, in 1972 an entire family was discovered mummified by low temperatures. This boy was not even a year old when life left him. Scientists found that he had Down syndrome.

Similaun Man, who was about 5,300 years old at the time of his discovery, making him the oldest European mummy, received from scientists nicknameÖtzi. Discovered on September 19, 1991 by a couple of German tourists while walking in the Tyrolean Alps, who came across the remains of a Chalcolithic inhabitant, perfectly preserved thanks to natural ice mummification, it created a real sensation in scientific world- nowhere else in Europe have they found ideally reached today bodies of our distant ancestors.

Thanks to the cold of the Andes peaks, the mummy was preserved very well and now it belongs to the Museum of Andean Sanctuaries in Ariquepa, but often moves around the world in a special sarcophagus.

On the islands of the Novosibirsk archipelago, they discovered the carcass of a female mammoth well preserved in the ice. In addition to soft tissues, the researchers received another valuable “gift” - mammoth blood. Surprisingly, it did not freeze at a temperature of -10 degrees, and scientists suggest that it was this feature that helped mammoths survive in the cold.

A baby mammoth was found near the Laptev Sea and was named Yuka. Scientists believe that Yuka died (yes, experts are inclined to believe that it was a female) at least 10 thousand years ago at the age of two and a half years: her tusks were just beginning to erupt.

Russian Expedition Geographical Society accidentally discovered debris in Yamal that may belong to the H-209 aircraft of the Northern Sea Route pilot Sigismund Levanevsky. The plane and its crew disappeared without a trace in August 1937. No human remains were found. Perhaps the pilots left the cockpit but did not reach the people, Fandyushin suggested. He said that members of the Russian Geographical Society are planning to go on a new expedition in March-April to examine the find in detail.

Due to the melting of the ice, soldiers of the First World War begin to emerge. In 2014, the remains of 80 soldiers killed during the First World War were discovered in melted alpine ice, almost all of them were well preserved and turned into mummies.

For decades, military supplies flowed down with the melting ice. Among the discovered relics there are letters and poems that remained unopened and did not manage to fall into the hands of loved ones. There are approximately 80 mummy soldiers, most of them were wounded.

The German pilot, whose remains were found by Krasnodar search engines, turned out to be famous pilot Horst Schiller. It was he who dropped the first bombs on Poland in September 1939, kickstarting the Second World War. But this is far from the first high-profile discovery by search engines in the Kuban, where during the war the occupiers built the “Blue Line” - a strong fortification system on the Taman Peninsula, which was broken through by the Red Army only in the fall of 1943. The head of the search organization "Shield and Sword" Alexey Koretsky shows the Gazeta.Ru correspondent the stands on which those found in Kuban land things and shells.

— We mainly have employees of internal affairs bodies, Krasnodar University of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the penal system, and bailiffs. Of course, there are also civilian volunteers. Someone comes to dig up a helmet as a souvenir, someone comes from the bottom of their hearts to raise a fighter and identify his relatives. And the metal that is exhibited here simply makes it clear the scale, shows at what cost the Victory was won.

— The helmets and shells are very poorly preserved...

— Because there is a lot of black soil and fertilizers. The main excavations are taking place on the Blue Line - a system German fortifications from Temryuk to Novorossiysk. Most of the five thousand fighters that Shield and Sword have discovered over the years are found there. Mostly, of course, infantry.

— How are names determined?

— Mortal medallions with full name and address are very rare. It was considered a terrible omen to fill it; once filled, death was invited. As a rule, mouthpieces were made from ebonite capsules for medallions, and the inserts were thrown away. If we find a medallion, then this is one case out of a hundred. Here is one of them, 1943, original.

(Alexey holds out a laminated strip of paper on which an address in the Saratov region is written in uneven handwriting and with errors. “The wife of Antonin Stepanova, surname Krasnova. Whoever finds this address, tell my wife that I am not here.”)

- Any thing can help determine the name. For example, a spoon with initials scratched out. We have a list of the division on hand - let’s see who fought in this sector. We find a fighter with the same initials and double-check at what point he died. Most often it matches.

We regularly turn to the Central Archive of the Ministry of Defense for clarification - information comes from there in a timely manner. Military registration and enlistment offices began to respond to requests only two or three years ago; before that, in 90% of cases they ignored us. When we establish a name, we contact our relatives.

— With the Germans too? I heard that Germany pays generously for Wehrmacht soldiers.

“This is crazy nonsense, cultivated by someone unknown.” In the 90s, maybe they paid. But we are giving the Germans without any money to the Volksbund (German public organization, full title People's Union Germany for the care of war graves. - "Gazeta.Ru").

The ratio of German and Soviet deaths is approximately one to three.

The Nazis were in fortified positions, on the hills, and ours had to storm all the time. And when the Germans attacked in the summer of 1942, he did it with wedges and owned modern equipment at that time.

— The largest mass grave that was found?

— 64 people, in the Crimean region. They were dragged into a large crater by the arms—either ours or the Germans’ legs. There were almost no special graves dug; people were exhausted from the battles. The corpses were thrown either into large craters or into dugouts. It happened that, especially the local population in the spring and autumn of 1943, they dumped everyone indiscriminately into one trench, sometimes they sprinkled it with lime or bleach.

— What things do you most often find among fighters?

— Looting has always happened - both then and now. The most valuable things were stolen even then. Personal items often include watches, pocket knives, and pocket razors. I remember the inlaid cigarette holder made from a mortal medallion, figuratively decorated with colored plastic. One day a wooden spoon came across; it was found in our soldier’s German gas mask tank. Very rarely, soldiers used captured tanks to carry food and store personal belongings.

Several times we came across aluminum cigarette cases with the inscription “Death to the fascist occupiers!”, made from an airplane wing.

Paper is practically never found, only if the remains were lying in clay. This is how they found a party card, the name of which was made out with the help of forensic experts from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Our soldiers often wear red American boots. Or here’s another thing: I was very surprised when I read “40% soy” on the 1942 Lend-Lease stew. Be sure to write it down, let them know that even then we were stuffed with soy.

Among the rarest items is our glass capsule mine.

Looks like a small bottle. Inside there is amatol - a mixture of ammonium nitrate and TNT; when you press the stopper with your foot, an explosion is heard.

— Do the Nazis have the same set?

“One day they found a box with a mirror on a German – for heroin. In red aluminum tubes there were Pervitin tablets - modern methamphetamine, a drug. What is destroying our youth now, the Germans had during the Third Reich. A water disinfectant was found in a plastic tube.

There are sealed beer bottles, although the drink leaked out through a rusty cap. Here’s a tube of cream to prevent frostbite on your hands—you can squeeze it into your palm right now. Here is a Romanian helmet. She was found with a balaclava, inside there were even remnants of hair and traces of maggots. And the Romanian had Soviet coins in his pockets. I stole money for souvenirs.

In general, the Germans interest me the least. When the media began to spread the news about Horst Schiller being found, they praised him as “ legendary personality"," World War II pilot ace." Yes, he is scum, and he died in our land for a reason!

Why is it legendary? Because he was the first to throw a bomb on Poland! Yes, so many people died from his bombs...

— By the way, are you able to establish under what circumstances this or that fighter died?

— Here is a unique photograph of one of the graves. Here the fighter lies at the bottom of the trench, his hands squeezing to the last the tourniquet, which was used to tighten the remainder of the leg torn off above the knee on his thigh. The leg was never found nearby. Under his head were the remains of a backpack, a bowler hat, a horn, and a glass was preserved - fellow soldiers poured alcohol into the wounded comrade’s mouth, ran further into the attack, planning to return for him. He never received help.
In the next photo, the fighter was covered with earth, he tried to get out until the last moment. Found at a depth of two meters.

— What do you do with the remains then?

- We are conducting an exhumation. If the burial is dubious—maybe modern victims—then we call investigators. As a rule, this is easy to determine by personal belongings, cartridges, and helmet. If there is an explosive object near the remains, we call the police, if there is an air bomb, we contact the Ministry of Emergency Situations.

In the Crimean region, the administration allocated us a room in the cemetery, where we put all the remains throughout the year. The ceremonial burial takes place either on October 9, the day of the liberation of Kuban, or on May 9. In some places we leave the remains in churches before burial - the priests bless them. At the mass grave “Hill of Heroes” near Krymsk we bury soldiers every year.

And this July, as part of the Taman Bridgehead 2014 expedition, a high-speed boat with the remains of a radio operator was discovered for the first time at a depth of six meters.

This is on the Tuzla Spit, on the very border with Ukraine. According to the law, a sunken boat with soldiers is officially considered mass grave, so we won’t rebury it. Next summer We plan to go down to the place of death again and install a sign with the name of the radio operator. An American anti-aircraft machine gun was lifted from this boat; it is now in the Museum of Military Glory in Krasnodar.

— Do you often encounter “black diggers”?

— “Chernushniki” worked in droves throughout Russia. They frolicked in earnest. They smashed the bones with shovels and scattered them around so that you couldn’t tell where the Germans were and where ours were. They are interested in weapons, jewelry, rare orders. Even coins from the fighters' pockets. Therefore, I support the recently adopted law limiting their activities.
