This is wild. I was just up in Canada, eh, and they said glaciers can basically spit out people via the water channels running deep below. Usually dead and frozen, but I think people have even survived falling down a crevasse and getting spit out immediately.
I doubt it’s anything new b/c of climate change, though. Probably just not recorded hundreds of years ago.

A passenger plane surfaced in the Andes a couple of years ago that had crashed 50 years earlier———glaciers move,that’s what they do.

Louis Agassiz, the scientist who discovered evidence for the ice age, could have told anyone this. Before he left his native Switzerland, the people who lived near glaciers told him that if somebody falls into a crevasse, his body will come out the end of the glacier, and you can predict when that will happen.
