Melting Glaciers in Italy Reveal a Shocking Surprise: Century-Old Corpses ..... During World War I, elite Italian soldiers who were trained to fight in freezing climates climbed high up into the Alps to battle enemies from Austria and Germany. The three-year war they waged, at elevations topping 6500 feet, is often referred to as the White War. Now, 100 years later, that snow and ice is slowly melting—and what lies beneath is like something straight out of a horror movie: The century-old corpses of both Austrian and Italian soldiers, perfectly preserved. The great thaw seems to have started in 2004, when three Austrian Hapsburg soldiers revealed themselves. Nearly every summer since, the melting ice has given way to a handful of corpses— more than 80 so far. ............ http://mentalfloss.com/article/72157/melting-glaciers-italy-reveal-shocking-surprise-century-old-corpses Wait, that would mean the ice had to have been advancing sometime during the decades since WWI.
