February 15, 2022
Ice is as beautiful as it is deadly. For thousands of years, it has destroyed anything it comes in contact with. From animals to plants, and even humans once the cold grip of ice gets you, there are no ways to come out alive. In some situations, loss of ice and melting permafrost spells trouble for polar bears, walruses, arctic foxes, snowy owls, reindeer, and many other species.
This harsh truth though is rather appreciated by modern-day scientists since whatever ice consumes, it also preserves. Anything or anyone, frozen in ice stays intact and preserved for thousands of years, giving scientists and now us, an up-close and personal look at life thousands of years ago. Ice is used in a variety of ways, including for cooling, winter sports, and ice sculpting.
