Top 10 SCARY THINGS Found Frozen In Ice
The best discoveries are found in ice. The way ice naturally preserves everything leaves scientists with a
lot to discover from our past. But, although quite amazing, I must say that most of these discoveries are
downright scary. Like number one which is both sad and terrifying so stay tuned for that. Here are 10
scary things found frozen in ice.

Number 10. The Andrée Arctic Expedition
Yep, we’re starting this list off with a frozen guy, and spoiler alert, there are more to come. But really, is
there anything scarier than finding a guy frozen in permafrost? In any case, this find is not only
frightening, but historic as well.
S.A. Andrée was a Swiss man who, along with two companions, set out on July 11 th , 1897. They didn’t do
it the old fashioned way, oh no, Andree was a visionary. Of the hundreds of people who went looking for
the North Pole before the twentieth century, only Andrée used a balloon. He had left from an island six
hundred and fifty miles from the Pole. It took an hour for the balloon, which was a hundred feet tall, to
disappear from the view of the people watching it. Andrée had expected to arrive in no more than forty-
three hours. Having crossed the Pole, he would land, perhaps six days later, in Asia or Alaska, depending
on the winds, and walk to civilization if he had to. They were never seen again. That is until August of
1930.
Andrée was discovered frozen in ice, well, his bones to be exact, frozen in ice, still wearing his boots. But
more importantly, he was found with his personal effects, his diary chronicling his journey, and photos
of the group, including one showing the men beside their fallen balloon.

Number 9. Frozen Bacteria
2020 has been a, well, very interesting year for the entire world. If there’s one thing that the world
doesn’t need right now is a brand new disease. But with global warming slowly melting permafrost that
have stayed frozen for thousands if not millions of years, disease bearing bacteria may find itself set
loose again to wreak havoc on humanity. Kind of like Pandora’s box, but very real.
NASA researchers say they have recovered bacteria that apparently lay dormant for 32,000 years in a
frozen pond in central Alaska. The bacteria resembled a group of microbes called carnobacteria that can
tolerate cold and are often found in refrigerated food. The bacterium is not poisonous, although some
of its close relatives cause disease in fish.
These bacteria may be harmless to us, but this discovery gives rise to the possibility that other, deadlier
bacteria are locked up frozen in permafrost somewhere, just waiting for the right time to be unleashed.

Number 8. The Lost Climbers of Mt. Everest
Before Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay became the first climbers to reach Everest's summit in
1953, Everest has claimed the lives of almost 300 climbers since the first attempt to conquer the

mountain in 1921, two-thirds of whom are buried in the mountain’s ice and snow. But now that global
temperatures are slowly increasing, Everest has begun to reveal its gruesome secrets for all the world to
see.
Famous remains on the deadly mountain have included a body dubbed “Green Boots,” by climbers,
believed to be the corpse of an Indian climber who died while descending from the summit in 1996. The
body, wearing neon green climbing boots, became a landmark for climbers, although there are reports
that it is no longer visible. In 1999, the well-preserved body of famous British mountaineer George
Mallory was discovered on Everest, 75 years after his death. Mallory's remains were subsequently
covered with a cairn.
Even if they are found, chances are, they will be left there. Retrieving bodies from the mountain is
fraught with danger. The most difficult bodies to retrieve are near the 29,035-foot summit in the low-
oxygen area known by mountaineers as the death zone.

Number 7. Blood Falls
Nothing is more visually jarring than seeing blood red liquid pouring out of a snow white glacier. This
was the exact sight that geologists came across when exploring the Taylor Glacier in in Antarctica’s
McMurdo Dry Valleys back in 1911. They dubbed the amazing site Blood Falls, as the liquid running
down the face of the glacier definitely looked like blood.
Roughly two million years ago, the Taylor Glacier sealed beneath it a small body of water which
contained an ancient community of microbes. Trapped below a thick layer of ice, they have remained
there ever since, isolated inside a natural time capsule.
