Ancient Artifacts Emerge as Snow Melts in Western Norway
As unusually low snow levels reveal ancient treasures in the mountains of Western Norway, archaeologists are urging hikers to stay vigilant. The melting snow is expected to uncover a wealth of historical artifacts, offering a rare glimpse into the region’s distant past.
A similar phenomenon occurred a decade ago during a particularly dry and warm summer in Møre and Romsdal County. That season saw a significant increase in reports of ancient artifacts emerging from the thawing snow. This year, with similar weather conditions, archaeologists are anticipating another surge in discoveries.
