The most amazing things found in ice. The strangest things that have been found in ice

A mysterious monster has been discovered in the Arctic, the origin of which is still almost unknown. Let's try to understand the details, comments, versions.

Biologists were conducting research in the Arctic space, unexpectedly discovering a very interesting pattern of biological life. After analyzing the information already available in the archives, scientists came to the conclusion that they did not become the discoverers of an unknown creature. Before them, it had already been discovered three years ago, only it was a slightly different kind. The researchers decided that this is one of the representatives of plankton, which was given the code name "Monstrilla" or "Little Monster".


Then, in 2014, "Little Monsters" were discovered and studied because they were frozen in the ice. The creature found now has a slightly different appearance- in particular, a flat head, which is why it was called Monstrillopsis planifrons. Scientists are sure that such finds are yet another proof that both the Arctic and Antarctica, with their unique climatic conditions, still contain a great many mysteries that will be revealed by scientific expeditions. Researchers believe that the study and analysis of various polar regions will help to get a more complete and correct idea of ​​this climatic zone, with its unique representatives of wildlife.


The unique climate of the polar zones allows you to keep everything in its original state for centuries. Living organisms can be in a state of "sleep mode" for decades. So, a former employee of one of the American intelligence agencies shared some information about sensational find: An ancient race of giants was discovered by an American expedition in the ice of Antarctica. The creatures were inside huge capsules stored in a layer of ice. The scientist does not exclude that these were the most ancient representatives of the human race, but from modern people First of all, they are distinguished by gigantic sizes. The source noted that the capsules in which the creatures were, apparently, were designed to be in them in a state of hibernation, and the life of the individuals imprisoned in the capsules is most likely still supported. It is possible that the dormant giants will still have to wake up, and this will happen not even at the request of modern humanity, which will try to explore them, but as a result of the melting of glaciers, which is gradually gaining momentum. It is noteworthy that the giants in capsules were found after a century and a half ago, traces of an ancient race were discovered in Antarctica.


A former intelligence officer claims that he personally did not see the giants awaken. It was not possible for anyone from his entourage to be present at this. But the specialist believes that the giants did not fall into such a state on their own - someone introduced them into it, before placing them in the chambers or after, it is not known. But this makes it possible to assume that there is another race, perhaps even more highly developed, which, for a specific purpose, keeps these giants for the time being, for the time being.


Of course, such information is difficult to take for granted, but science knows cases when the remains of gigantic creatures were discovered. For example, traces of a foot, the length of which was approximately 70 cm, or a fossilized human tooth, the height of which was slightly less than seven meters, found in Australia.


It is possible that the creatures found in Antarctica, information about which was strictly classified, are related to alien civilizations. Perhaps the aliens are using the areas least developed by man for some of their own purposes. This version is indirectly confirmed by a recent statement by a Russian ufologist that, while studying pictures of the coast of Antarctica from Google Earth, he came across an incomprehensible giant object. A scientist from Nizhny Tagil published a photo, highlighting the square in which he found an unknown object. The specialist believes that this is an alien ship that recently landed, while its size is 30 meters in length and 20 in width, which is approximately comparable to a multi-storey building.


The researcher claims that the object was not previously visible because it was hidden by snow and ice, but now they may have melted and the use of technically advanced technologies in the form of Google Earth allowed him to detect the mysterious object. The ufologist is absolutely convinced that he is right and offers to check the area by organizing an expedition. He published the exact coordinates of the location of the object.


By the way, the Nizhny Tagil scientist is far from the first to express the opinion that aliens have a whole base in Antarctica, specially built so that they can monitor the activities of the inhabitants of the Earth, and at the same time not attract special attention to themselves.

The ice of our planet holds quite a few secrets that we have yet to unravel. What was found is amazing, and only spurs interest for further searches.

giant virus

Researchers from the University of Marseille (France), together with Russian colleagues from the Institute of Physicochemical and Biological Problems, have found a new virus in the permafrost.

Ice Maiden Inca Ice Maiden, Peru

The mummy of a girl of 14-15 years old was found on the slope of the Nevado Sabankaya volcano in the vastness of Peru, moreover, in 1999. Experts suggest that this teenager and several other children were selected for sacrifice because of their beauty.

Three mummies were found, which, unlike the embalmed Egyptian "colleagues", were subjected to deep freezing. 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. Probably, it was once struck by lightning, which may affect the accuracy of the results of the study.

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

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

Mummy of Princess Ukok, Altai

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 Territory.

Mummy of a boy, Greenland

Near the Greenlandic settlement of Kilakitsok, located on the west coast of the largest island in the world, in 1972 an entire family was discovered, mummified by means of low temperatures. This boy was not even a year old when life left him. Scientists have established that he was sick with Down syndrome.

Iceman, Alps

The Similaunian Man, who was about 5,300 years old at the time of discovery, making him the oldest European mummy, was nicknamed Ötzi by scientists. Discovered on September 19, 1991 by a couple of German tourists during a walk in the Tyrolean Alps, who stumbled upon the remains of a Chalcolithic resident perfectly preserved thanks to natural ice mummification, he made a splash in the scientific world - nowhere else in Europe have they found the bodies of our distant ancestors.

Juanita from the Peruvian Andes

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

Frozen Mammoth

On the islands of the Novosibirsk archipelago, they found the carcass of a female mammoth well preserved in the ice. In addition to soft tissues, the researchers got another valuable "gift" - the blood of a mammoth. It is not surprising, but it did not freeze at a temperature of -10 degrees, and scientists suggest that it was this feature that helped the mammoths survive in the cold.

Mammoth Yuka

The 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.

Fragments of Sigismund Levanevsky's plane found in the Arctic

Russian expedition geographical society accidentally discovered fragments in Yamal that may belong to the H-209 aircraft of the pilot of the Main Northern Sea Route Sigismund Levanevsky. The aircraft, along with the crew, disappeared without a trace in August 1937. No human remains have been 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.

Remains of World War I soldiers in the Alps

In connection with the melting of the ice, the soldiers of the First World War begin to emerge. In 2014, the remains of 80 soldiers who died during the First World War were discovered in the melted Alpine ice, almost all of them are well preserved, turned into mummies.

Together with them were found photographs of the war years, maps and even products that were perfectly preserved in the cold. The soldiers were given a real military funeral. Now the main task is to preserve this heritage.

Married couple

The remains of Marcelin and Francine Dumoulin were found in the Swiss Alps, in the glacier Zahnfleuran. The police confirmed their identities after a DNA test. The pair were found with a backpack, watch and a book. The couple had 7 years left, who, after two months of searching, were sent to foster families.

Frozen baby woolly rhinoceros

For the first time in the history of paleontology, Yakut paleontologists have found the partially preserved remains of a baby woolly rhinoceros buried under permafrost about 10 thousand years ago, which will help them understand how these animals survived in a harsh glacial climate.


Melted glaciers hide terrible and amazing things that have been hidden from the eyes of people for a long time.

Ice is a natural preservative, and it is able to store things, people and animals in its thickness for many thousands of years. As the ice melts, eerie finds are revealed. They attract scientists because they are able to tell about important secrets of the past.

Mummy of a boy, Greenland

Near the settlement of Kilakitsoq on the western coast of Greenland, in 1972, an entire family was discovered, mummified by means of low temperatures. The boy was not even a year old when life left him. Scientists have established that he was sick with Down syndrome.

Iceman, Alps


About 5,300 years old, the Similaunian Man is the oldest European mummy. The scientists named him Ötzi. Discovered on September 19, 1991 by a couple of German tourists while walking in the Tyrolean Alps. The remains are perfectly preserved thanks to natural ice mummification. The find produced real sensation in the scientific world, since nowhere else in Europe have they found the bodies of our distant ancestors that have ideally survived to this day.

Juanita from the Andes, Peru


The cold of the Andes mountain peaks kept the mummy in good condition. Now it is in the Museum of Andean Sanctuaries in Ariquepa. Juanita is often exhibited in various museums around the world, transporting her in a special sarcophagus.

Ice Maiden of the Incas, Peru


The mummy of a girl 14-15 years old was found on the slope of the Nevado Sabankaya volcano in Peru in 1999. Experts suggest that this teenager and several other children were selected for sacrifice because of their beauty.


Three mummies were found, which, unlike the embalmed Egyptian "brothers", were subjected to deep freezing. 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. Probably, it was once struck by lightning, which may affect the accuracy of the results of the study. Most likely, three children were sacrificed, as evidenced by the artifacts next to them: gold, silver, clothes, bowls of food and an extravagant headdress made from white feathers of unknown birds.


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

Mummy of Princess Ukok, Altai, Russia


This mummy was nicknamed the "Altai Princess" and it is assumed that Ukoka died in the 5th-3rd centuries BC. and belong to the Pazyryk culture of the Altai Territory.

Unknown arctic civilization
In 2015, 29 kilometers south of the Arctic Circle, scientists discovered traces of mysterious civilization relating to the Middle Ages. The discovery was made in the region of Siberia, but archaeologists have established that this people was related to Persia.
The found remains were wrapped in furs, birch bark and covered with objects made of copper. Under the conditions of permafrost, bodies in such a “shell” were mummified and perfectly preserved to this day. In total, researchers found 34 small graves and 11 bodies at the site of the medieval site.


At first, only men and children were found, but in August 2017, scientists discovered that there was also a woman's body among the mummies. Scientists have nicknamed her the Polar Princess. Researchers believe that this girl belonged to a high class, since she is so far the only representative of the fair sex discovered during these excavations.

Remains of World War I soldiers, Alps

80 soldiers who died during the First World War were discovered in 2014 in the melted Alpine ice. Almost all of them are well preserved, having turned into mummies.


Together with the soldiers, photographs, maps and even products were found that were perfectly preserved in the cold. The soldiers were buried with military honors.

Husband and wife Marcellin and Francine Dumoulin, Alps, Switzerland


The Dumoulin couple disappeared in the mountains on August 15, 1942. Two months later, the police and rescuers stopped looking for them. The seven orphans left without parents were distributed to orphanages. The bodies of their missing parents were found 75 years later, when the glacier began to melt. Swiss police officials said the remains were found in a glacier at an altitude of 2615 meters and officially identified. Monique Gautschy, the couple's youngest daughter, was called in for identification. The final confirmation of personalities is made after a DNA test. The pair were found with a backpack, watch and a book.

Scientists find animals and insects in the ice and permafrost that inhabited the earth in ancient times. Among them, of particular interest are large warm-blooded animals - mammoths, woolly rhinos. The discovered remains help to understand how these animals survived in the harsh glacial climate.

frozen mammoth


On the islands of the Novosibirsk archipelago, a well-preserved carcass of a female mammoth was found. In addition to soft tissues, the researchers got another valuable "surprise" - the blood of a mammoth. It did not freeze at a temperature of minus 10 degrees, and scientists suggest that this particular feature helped the mammoths survive in the cold.

The world is full of hidden secrets, and it turns out that there are still places where amazing and strange things are completely buried and hidden in the ice, but thanks to global warming, we are gradually discovering them.

1. Mountain range 3 km high

Beneath the icy plains that cover much of Antarctica lies a veritable mountain range. Scientists have known about the Gamburtsev Mountains for about half a century, but only recently modern technologies allowed them to look under the ice and see mountains 1200 km long with peaks up to 3 km high. The researchers say the range looks a bit like the Alps, and there are also magnetic anomalies that suggest the mountains could be about 1 billion years old.

2. A 25-million-year-old lake containing life

In 2012, scientists drilled 3 km of ice and stumbled upon Lake Vostok, hidden deep under the ice of Antarctica, and this is the largest subglacial lake on the continent. The researchers who took samples from it found very strange life forms there. These were bacteria, completely different from all bacteria known to us, but some mysterious and alien-exotic species.

3. Millions of grasshoppers

There is nothing more impressive than the pristine beauty of a glacier. One of these exists in Montana, near the city of Cook City, and is called the Grasshopper Glacier. Yes, it is filled with millions of grasshoppers frozen into it. An analysis of the insects confirmed that they belonged to a species that became extinct about 200 years ago. Grasshopper Glacier is not the only such place in the Beartooth Mountains, next to it, for example, there is also a glacier with frozen locusts.

4. World War I battlefield

Since the 1990s global warming glaciers near the Italian city of Peio in the north of the country were flooded - and love letters, diaries and, finally, the bodies of soldiers who died during the First World War appeared from the ice. As the melting progresses, more bodies are discovered. In 2004, a local mountain guide discovered three Habsburg soldiers on a slope. And the researchers even found a whole warehouse with ammunition, steel helmets and clothing.

5. Fish Lizard Cemetery

A huge cemetery of the early Cretaceous era was discovered in the Chilean glacier. The research team went to national park Torres del Paine and found 46 whole specimens of creatures in which they recognized ichthyosaurs, and in a simple way - fish lizards. The remains are about 100-150 million years old, and they have preserved soft tissues and embryos. The fish lizard is not a small animal, the largest skeleton was about 5 meters.

Source 6A deer corpse infected with anthrax

In 2016, global warming in Western Siberia pushed a deer carcass to the surface. The body was infected with anthrax, and scientists believe that not only did the deer fall victim to the infection, they then infected nearly 15,000 local nomadic reindeer herders. And this is another of the very serious dangers of melting glaciers, fraught with the spread of deadly diseases.

7. One fish eating another

Some discoveries change history, while others are of great scientific value. This find in Indiana is certainly not a fake. Two brothers were fishing in Lake Wawashi when they saw what looked like a pike ravenously eating a perch in the ice. The couple once simply froze on the spot, and the fishermen brothers made and posted a video about how they carved this strange composition out of ice.

8 Iron Age Tunic

In 2015, due to the melting of glaciers in Norway, archaeologists found things lost by people of the Iron Age. In total, the mountains of Oppland County have yielded over 2,000 artifacts as they were once trade routes for our ancestors. Arrows and horseshoes have already been found there. In 2011, old mittens were "picked up". And more recently, a well-preserved tunic was also found, tentatively dating from 230-390 years. AD The stylish little thing turned out to be quilted and insulated; besides, it was also stained with horse manure.

Source 9Revived 32,000-Year-Old Seeds

A team of Russian researchers have discovered an ancient squirrel stash on the banks of the Kolyma River. The seeds were at a depth of 37 m, and they were about 32 thousand years old. However, the scientists were able to restore viable plant tissue inside the seeds. The seeds germinated and grew into flowers that produced a new crop of seeds.

10. The real treasure

In 2013, a climber came to the French police and gave them a small box containing about a hundred precious stones, including emeralds, sapphires and rubies, worth about 300 thousand dollars. The climber discovered them on Mont Blanc, and the box came from an Air India plane that crashed into the mountains in January 1966 and claimed the lives of 117 passengers. The search for the rightful owner has so far been unsuccessful - at least two different families claim that the box belongs to them.


The ice of our planet holds quite a few secrets that we have yet to unravel. What was found is amazing, and only spurs interest for further searches.

For several decades, military paraphernalia has flowed down with the melting ice. Among the relics found are letters and poems that were never opened and did not have time to fall into the hands of loved ones. There are about 80 mummy soldiers, most of them were wounded.
