Glaciers are a store of the Earth's memories as they put articles from the past into a deep freeze. (Bishop, 2001). One animal that has been commonly found in glaciers is the woolly mammoth. The glacier preserves the cadaver so that its fossil appears like a sun-dried "mummy." Moisture in the animal's body doesn't evaporate, it crystallizes forming a carcass that looks as if it were mummified. Woolly mammoths are normally found in the permafrost layer- a a level of the glacier that doesn't melt with the changing of the seasons. Also found in the glaciers was the remains of the "Ice Man." This Neanderthal helped to show early burial rites as found through archeological digs.
