Ice Age Mummies Frozen In Time

The article discusses the remarkable discoveries that have been made in the Arctic due to the preservation capabilities of permafrost.

The process of cryopreservation, as studied by cryobiology, is difficult, as damage can occur when trying to lower the temperature. Despite research into cold-tolerant animals and vitrification techniques, cryonics cannot currently preserve a human body indefinitely and the dream of cryonics is still on ice.
