Ice Maiden Transcripts from NOVA

Ice Maiden

Ice Maiden She was buried alone -- not a mistress or concubine -- but a very powerful figure in her own right. The Ice Maiden was arranged lying as if asleep because the Pazyryk believed they never died, but simply passed on to another world. On her left arm, the right thumb, and then again on her left shoulder were amazing tattoos. She was 5 foot 6, extremely tall for her time -- as tall as many of the powerful men found in the richest Pazyryk graves. It is estimated that The Ice Maiden was killed when she was about 25 years old.(Jason Beams )

The NORTHER COAST OF THE DMITRY LAPTEV STRAIT is the southern coast of the Bolshoy Ljahovshiy Island, which is abrupt over its full length. In the region of the Kigilyah Peninsula the mountain peaks are flat and the mountainsides have a great number of large kekurs. The coasts are cliffy, abrupt and vertical. Further to the east up to the mouth of the Dimnaya river (7314,5N, 14221,0) the sandy-argillaceous coast are breaking-up, abrupt and with fossilized ice coming out.

The approaching to the coasts is allowed by boat only and only in the mouths of rivers because of the often avalanches in this area. From the Dimnaya river to the Shalaurova Cape the coast became stonier with fewer abruptions. The mountainsides are covered with tundra vegetation and coming up right to the water (more often than before). The sandy and pebbly beaches are just a little above the sea level where floating objects could be found. The coasts are sandbank like.
