Mummies trilogy. Mummies on ice. Episode 2
Description
Every so often, from around the world, the ground gives up another body. But where these bodies have been buried in frozen ground, ice or snow, we are treated to the extraordinary preservative effects of freezing. From deliberately mummified remains, complete with removed organs and ancient preservation techniques, through accidental burials and quick internments because of disease, Mummies on Ice explores these strange phenomena, uncovers the stories behind the bodies and looks into the scientific discoveries that these frozen cadavers can provide us.
