They went to milk their cows on a glacier?

When I heard this story, I recalled a TV show from when I was a kid: "The Second Hundred Years".

Different outcome, though.

One for the CSIce squad.

The wine bottle near one of the bodies is a bit “telling”...

Boy, when they are thawed are they going to be in for a culture shock.

Take your pick of References:

Captain America:

Or South Park Prehistoric Ice Man from 1994:

Never yodel below a glacier.

They went to milk their cows cows with a bottle of red wine too!

Global warming - Good.

...the discovery of two bodies emerging from a melting glacier...

Their bodies might have never been found but for global warming. :-)

Definitely have that Otzi the Austrian Ice Man look. Well, except for the bottle of wine.

Typical media approach - leave out the facts that enable one to make sense of the report. My guess is that they were crossing the glacier to milk the cows which were likely grazing uphill and on the other side of the ice, falling into the crevice and expiring. Summer pasture in that part of the world is normally up the mountain from the residence.

More proof of climate change....

One of their children (if not more) is alive. Haunting story.

They should take these folks and compare them to the modern person and see how they fair against each other. I think the people from before the 50s look much better than modern people, on a whole.
