Given the extreme cold on the Antarctic continent, any animal -- including humans --- that dies on the continent and that becomes frozen into the ice sheet, does not decompose in the way the animal would decompose in warmer environments.

This means that any skeletons of any animal remains covered with the outer layers that were intact at the time of the animal's death.
