The tag line is great - melting glaciers and the recovering of the past

This shares history and science combined with a great story. Children will learn about mummies, mountain climbing and glaciers.

I like they mentioned these two women beat the odds.

I like this book because it gives historical background on glaciers in different things from Ice Age times and around when they found the body. I‘ll go get it along with like how they found it and why they just recently found the body.

A real story where body was discovered by mountain climbers in 1991 on the Niederjoch Glacier on the border between Austria and Italy. Five bodies had previously been discovered in the region during the exceptionally warm summer. The body was discovered with items that showed it might be quite old, possibly dating from the 1800s. The oldest human mummy ever discovered preserved in ice was given the name Tzi.

I like how informative this book is for people. I like how they use actual pictures to display it.

This book highlights facts on what you can find under the ice. It shows how to do it as well.

I thought this book was very informative and a good read. I would use it with older kids and adults because it does have some graphic pictures that may not go well with younger audiences.

In this book there were seven chapters. Each chapter there were different main characters and all of them either died by falling through glaciers or they were someone who looked for peoples bodies from years and years ago. The main plot line was people finding dead bodies from a long long time ago.

I think this book would definitely be good for older students but not younger grades, it was confusing at some parts but I though it was a really informative book about glaciers but also told a cool story at the same time.

In 1991, mountain climbers on the Niederjoch Glacier on the Italian-Austrian border came across something unexpected: a body.

This book seems too boring for me and reminds me of the books I was supposed to read in school. I cannot keep my attention through these books so I do not expect my students to do the same.

This is a typical science book. They show factual pictures and present it in a very professional and meaningful way.

The images included were cool. Some children might be scared, others may be intrigued by this topic though. I would probably read it to older ages students who are beginning to understand the concept of death more.

“Almost a year after the discovery, archaeologists conducted a thorough excavation of Ötzi‘s discovery site. They retrieved his bearskin cal, a fingernail, and some strands of hair.”

This book was interesting,
mysterious, and somewhat disturbing. It was about glaciers, but mainly about the ancient bodies exposed due to the glaciers melting. It includes real images and long explanations/details. It shows what we can uncover from the past.

High in the melting glaciers of South America's Andes Mountains, the most amazing bodies found in the ice are not accident victims, but deliberate burials of centuries-old Ince children, sacrificed to appease their gods.

This book would be very cool to put in an older elementary classroom. The images and the captions are very intriguing and would make anyone interested in reading.

Around the world, the glaciers are melting fast. The glaciers have been revealing bodies that have lived thousands of years in the past. The author does a wonderful job visually showing how glaciers are truly mystical. The book is set up like a scrapbook, allowing people to be lured in by the interesting, yet respectful images.

“No other frozen remains have been discovered in North America”

I enjoyed the photographs that the author included in the story.

I enjoyed this book but it was kind of shaking reading about and seeing the dead bodies up on top of these mountains. Nevertheless the book was very interesting.
