Back in 2014, the Secrets of the Ice program found an exceptional pre-Viking ski, 1300 years old, at the Digervarden Ice patch. The ski was complete, including the binding – one of only two skis from prehistory in this condition.

In the seven years since, we have monitored the ice patch, hoping and praying for the second ski of the pair to melt out. Now it has happened! The new ski is even better preserved than the first one! It is an unbelievable find❤️

How do you mean prehistoric? It is 300 years after the fall of Rome.
It is Middle Ages.

so in order to discover historical artifacts we have to cross our fingers for the ice patch to melt? color me conflicted.

If they were found because the ice had melted, does that mean global warming is not a thing?

Congratulations! Awesome find! 👌Wonder what more could be hidden beneath the ice. Plenty of valuable artifacts most likely.
