Melting ice patches in the Rocky Mountains have revealed an ancient forest in pristine condition.
Cooling temperatures about 5,500 years ago quickly encased this forest in ice, preserving the trees in perfect condition.
This ancient forest of whitebark pines thrived for centuries at much higher elevations than the same tree species that can be found in the region today .
