Whale bones from thousands of years ago were found on Vilchek Island in the Franz Josef Land archipelago located in the Arctic. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
This discovery was made during the "Arctic Floating University-2025" expedition conducted by Russian scientists. The expedition is aimed at studying climate change in the Arctic.
In the last twenty years, the glacier on Vilchek Island has split into two parts, revealing land that was previously covered by ice. The bones found near the ocean's marine terrace are well preserved in some areas.
This situation is explained by the influence of permanent ice lands. Researchers are studying changes in sea levels over the last millennium through this discovery.
According to institute representative Nikita Demidov, such discoveries not only help restore the ecological state of the past in the Arctic but also provide important data for predicting future climate changes. The melting of glaciers in the Arctic opens new opportunities in science and contributes to a deeper understanding of climate change.
This lays the foundation for more precise and effective research in the future
