Bodies from the Ice by James M. Deem

Otzi is not the only ice mummy! This book about mummies and glaciers tells the stories of some other people from the past (though none from so long ago as Otzi) that have been preserved in the ice, and discovered when glaciers began to melt. It has chapters on Otzi; Grinding, Gliding Glaciers; Dragons in the Ice; Frozen Children of the Andes; The Mystery of Mallory; Another Man frm a Glacier; and Saving the Past. That ice has been busy!
