Lynch" <> Subject: SCI.CRYONICS Ice Man The alpine "ice man" was not frozen to cryogenic temperatures, and may have been repeatedly thawed and refrozen, so there's little wonder that he's in bad shape. Of course he's in better shape than his cohorts, all of whom are dust, or, at best, skeletons. I saw a picture (in National Geographic?) of a body recovered from the John Franklin Expedition which got lost in the Arctic 150 years ago. The body looked in such good shape that if paramedics had unexpectedly found it out of its archeological context, I'd bet they would have tried CPR. (Of course it wouldn't have worked.)
