Best Answer

The Ice Man of the Alps was found in the Italian- Austrian border in Europe by two hikers in 1991. He was well preserved and scientists were able to discover facts about this man. The Ice Man was hiking in the Alps when a snow storm hit him unexpectedly. He then stretched out some near by rocks and covered himself with blanket. As the weather grew colder and colder, he froze to death without ever waking.

How can a fossil be preserved in ice?

The coldness of the ice stops things in the ice from decay, so if a fossil is in ice it won't decay. A few years ago in the Italian alps a mummy of a man was found when a glacier melted. He was dated to having been alive 5,000 years ago and his clothes, shoes, weapons, and other items were still intact enough to get information about him. The ice had preserved him for us to learn about him.
