The scene of where Otzi was found was also examined and certain objects were found. These objects were a copper axe, a bow about 2 metres long, a small flint knife, warm clothing and a full quiver. The ice age The time when the ice man died was known as one of the many “ice ages”. This is when large sheets of ice cover huge amounts of land. This extreme climate change forced people to migrate in groups
In Alaska I’d put up a hairy new route on the Mooses Tooth, and pulled off a solo ascent of the Devils Thumb that involved spending three weeks alone on a remote ice cap. I’d done a number of fairly extreme ice climbs in Canada and Colorado” (27-28). b. Krakauer has had lots of previous experiences climbing mountains.

Due to all of Iceland’s volcanic activity, there is also a great deal of glacial activity. According to Wikipedia, the glaciers of Iceland cover 11.1% of the land area of the country, having a considerable impact on the country’s landscape. Most of the glaciers are on top of volcanoes. The largest glacier in Iceland is called Vatnajökull, which alone covers 8% of Iceland; it is also the largest glacier in Europe. Vatnajökull appears to have started shrinking in size ever since the 1930s, which is believed to be due to climate

Daytime temperatures of 30 °C or higher are commonplace. Ottawa averages many days with humidex between 30 °C and 40 °C annually. Snow and ice are dominant during the winter season. Ottawa receives about 224 centimetres of snowfall annually. Days above freezing and nights below −20 °C both occur in the winter.
Olympic National Park Where else in the world can one combine snow skiing, hiking along a coastline and soaking in mineral pools in the same day than Olympic National Park? The park is located in the northwestern part of the state of Washington on the Olympic Peninsula, about ninety miles from Seattle. Because of its beauty, this area officially named after the mythical home of the Greek Gods in 1792. Olympic National Park offers almost one million acres and three different ecosystems to explore sub-alpine, coastal, and forest. Wiry grasses and wild flowers stripe the rocky ledges of the alpine capped with a white covering of snow.
