What is Ice Mummy about?
In 1991, two hikers in the Alps spotted something unusual sticking out of the melting snow. It was the remarkably preserved body of a man who had died more than 5,000 years ago. This gripping non-fiction account follows the discovery of the Iceman, the difficult rescue from the ice and the scientific clues that reveal how he lived and died. It also explores the evidence suggesting that he was murdered, and how his frozen remains are preserved today.
