Iceman Ötzi the Iceman was buried inside a glacier in Italy for thousands of years before he was discovered by hikers in 1991 .

His body and everything he had on him at the time of death are almost perfectly preserved.

This includes a knife and a bow with its string, fletched arrows, a preserved axe, and even a travel medicine kit containing birch bark and mushrooms.

As the climate warms and the ice retreats, archaeologists are now scrambling to recover thousands of objects suddenly emerging from the deep freeze.
