Out of the ice : how climate change is revealing the past / written by Claire Eamer ; illustrated by Drew Shannon.

Eamer, Claire, 1947- (Author). Shannon, Drew, 1988- (Added Author).

Summary:

As the Earth's climate continues to warm, the permafrost melts, glaciers recede, and ice patches shrink, resulting in the discovery of a treasury of preserved organic material, like human and animal remains, and inorganic artifacts, like ancient tools and clothing. The big melt is providing us with new information about how people and animals lived several thousand years ago. But it's a race against time for archaeologists. As soon as the objects begin to thaw, they also begin to disintegrate.
