“Tucked within an icy mountain lies a meticulously preserved World War I bunker.
Climate change means we can now see it.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/world...world-war-one/ Attachment 126005 |
Two thoughts jump to mind:
Although it was more sheltered than the muddy trenches of the Western front, I wouldn't want to have spent a lot of time living/fighting there.... If melting snow/ice revealed the bunker, will a continued melt and exposure destroy it before it can be fully documented? |
Race against time…
Once things start to thaw out, they will decay quickly.
It reminds me of the WW 1 trench that was unearthed when a new road was constructed. The archeologists had to race against time to excavate the site. Luckily they were able to recover and ID some missing soldiers. |
