The Iceman Cometh

A Web site maintained by Italy's South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology offers an illustrated look at scientific efforts to understand the life and death of Oetzi the Iceman, who perished in Europe's Alps more than 5,000 years ago only to be discovered in mummified form by hikers in 1991. Explore Oetzi's clothing, equipment, and tattoos, and take a look at efforts to preserve his body.
