Melting glaciers reveal Viking pass hidden for centuries

With global warming, glaciers and ice patches high in Norway's mountains are melting, and in their wake revealing a secret history that's been hidden for millennia. Thousands of ancient artefacts have been discovered that until very recently were covered up by snow and ice. The discoveries have given rise to a new field of study, glacial archaeology, which is focused on uncovering these icy secret links to the past. Each summer archaeologists head high up into the mountains to excavate new finds.
