WAKEHAM BAY, CANADA — A team of explorers studying glacial formations stumbled upon one of the greatest archaeological discoveries ever. They found a ninth-century Viking warrior encased in a thick wall of ice and showing no visible sign of decomposition!
More incredibly still, researchers believe it may be possible to review him!
“This has never been attempted before. We firmly believe that with the technology available today, it will be possible to bring this man back to life with his mental faculties fully intact,” declares lead scientist Dr. Nigel Hamm.
“The Viking sailor was preserved in an ice block. This affords us an opportunity to conduct an extraordinary scientific experiment.”
The frozen Norseman appears to have been about 25 years old when he died. The ice cavern was found 22-feet below the Earth’s surface.
“I am still in a daze over this very amazing find,” declares Dr. Hamm, head of London-based geological society stationed in Greenland that specializes in Arctic study. “He’s probably been there for the better part of 1,2000 years. But looks like he could have died 20 minutes ago.”
The bearded warrior has dressed appropriately for the frigid climate, wearing clothes and boots fashioned from thick, fur.
He also sports a typical Viking horned cap and leather breastplate. A leather pouch strapped around his waist bulges outward suggesting it is full.
“At first we believed that it contained good-luck trinkets from home or perhaps some caribou jerky for the journey ahead,” Dr. Hamm says.
“But after consulting experts in Viking lore, we now believe the man was probably carrying what people of his land believed were magic charms that could keep death at bay.
“Incredibly, they seem to have worked, because this Viking is in tip-top shape.
“It’s uncanny it’s like he’s more in a state of suspended animation than truly dead.”
WHERE DID HE COME FROM? Scientists believe the short, stocky Norseman was a member of a Viking expedition. They surmise he most likely had been on a hunting mission.
“Probably a snow bridge he was walking on gave way and he tumbled through a crevasse into the cavern,” the researcher says.
Viking artifacts have been found over the years in Canada and the U.S. Vikings apparently used the frozen north as a winter base.

If the revival fails and he’s DOA they will list his death as a Covid death.
Dr. Hamm has been smoking something.
Pristine Alaskan Glacier Turns Into Tropical Wasteland
(Frosty Cove, Alaska) Few places on Earth have suffered the ravages of global warming more than Alaska. While recent news reports have highlighted accounts of the native Inuits' snowmobiles falling through the ice, threatening their traditional way of life, there are isolated parts of Alaska have been completely transformed by global warming. | |
| 1986: Frosty Cove's original pristine state featured majestic ice fields and rock outcroppings. |
Totally devoid of the ice and magnificent rock outcropping that once adorned the lanscape, Frosty Cove has become the poster child for the ravaging effects of global warming. In the accompanying pair of photographs, taken only twenty years apart, the environmental degradation is immediately obvious. Types of vegetation totally foreign to Alaska have invaded the region, upsetting the delicate ecological balance that once existed. Clouds of mosquitos, once so abundant in the cool moist climate of Alaska, have all but disappeared. | |
| 2006: Frosty Cove's original beauty has been forever lost, now replaced with invasive foreign plant and animal species. |
"We have been astounded by the environmental degradation that has occurred at Frosty Cove", said Dr. John Striker, director of Alaska's Cold Preservation Institute. "This level of transformation in only twenty years is sobering -- clearly, global warming has gotten out of hand in Alaska, and now other fragile ecosystems in polar regions are threatened as well". | |

He’s been voting Democrat/communist for a million years. The morons that think he can be ‘revived’are well morons.
Once emancipation the guy will alone quickly conquer Iceland, Norway and Sweden (not Finland they are a tougher breed) and soon the North Sea and the English Channel will be his ‘pond’ and the rape and pillage will begin!
Review him by stunning his frozen beeber?
Free Republic had a like button about 20 years ago. It lasted just a couple of months and then was removed.
Wakeham Bay is now Kangiqsujuaq!
The article uses racist old name.
They should apologize!
Blatant abuse of the Natives Inuit people.
Maybe he was headed toward Encino.
He pick it up at a tourist booth during his travels
No folks, he is really dead.
It is my understanding that Vikings •never• wore horned helmets. Strictly fantasy.
Turn the block over — I think Han Solo is on the other side.
I’ve never heard of WWN. Apparently, it’s a site that specializes in bogus stories; I know this one sure is! Thanks for the laugh.
I am fascinated by this entire thread though I have concerns about being frozen in a block of ice just might be a bit of a redundancy.
I never knew that about the ‘Like’ feature. I would bring it back because it would help me with my spelling issues out here.
Hopefully, it’s Tarvaris Jackson.
The Vikings could use him about now.
I just told my 94-year-old father-in-law, “You think you are old? Hell, this Viking they found frozen is 1300 years old.”
