Scientists continue to find many incredible things hiding in ice. Some of the things you will find here are more bizarre than the rest. In fact, a handful of these will truly blow you away! Although it is not that uncommon to find woolly creatures buried and preserved in the cold, there is no explanation for the others. Get ready to be mystified and enthralled by what scientists have uncovered in the icy depths of the North and South Poles. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
An Icy Lighthouse
There are times when it gets so cold that it freezes an entire architectural structure, apparently. This is not all that unusual in Michigan if you can believe it. The lighthouse in question has succumbed to the cold – that seems like an understatement! You can clearly see how the spiral staircase has frozen over, and we don’t blame you for assuming it is unmanned.

Baby Mammoth Brains
When it comes to the weirder scientific finds in ice, it is pretty hard to beat woolly mammoth’s brains. If you are wondering if it is edible, we do not recommend trying it out. The remains were discovered in a kind of permafrost along the coast of the Laptev Sea. Apparently, it is one of the few preserved mammoths that remains with the brain intact to ever be discovered. It dates back to 39,000 years ago! Whoa. However, the saddest part about this was that it was a baby mammoth. Scientists believe it was only six to nine years old when it died.
