Reading paragraphsIn 1991, two tourists hiking in the Alps saw something very odd sticking out of the snow. At first it looked like a dolls head. But it wasnt. It was a man, frozen in the ice for 5,000 years. Ice Mummy—first published by Random House in 1998—tells the story of this amazing discovery, from the struggle to remove the mummy from his icy grave to the creation of his final resting place: a specially designed refrigeration chamber in his own museum in Bolzano, Italy.
