Our 500-year old Good Boy from the Lendbreen pass is now resting in his display case in the new exhibition at the Norwegian Mountain Center in Lom. We found him on the ice in 2019, with his collar and leash. The bones tell us that it is an adult male dog, about 50 cm tall.

We are so happy with how the exhibition panned out. It combines one hundred of our ice finds with wall animations of ancient people and animals, together with digital information screens and a soundscape, There were lots of positive feedback from the first visitors.

We still wonder why the dog died in the pass? What other history is still hidden inside the ice? The exhibition is an important milestone but our work is not over, far from it. We will keep searching for the secrets of the ice until all the mountain ice is gone

@brearkeologi
Do you know what kind of breed this good boy was?
Could it be "Norsk buhund (spisshundrase)"?
