High in Norway’s melting glaciers, history is surfacing—one artifact at a time. As the ice recedes, archaeologists are uncovering well-preserved relics of ancient travel, trade, and survival, from delicate arrows with intact fletching to mysterious wooden objects lost to time. The Lendbreen ice patch, once a bustling route for Viking-era traders and hunters, yielded some of its best discoveries yet this past summer. With each find, researchers piece together the story of those who once braved these frozen paths—and they’re eager to return for more.
This story form Science Alert is a journey into the past of our Scandinavian ancestors and it comes with a lot of pictures to see the discoveries.
