Last summer, Zac Peterson was on the adventure of a lifetime.
The 25-year-old teacher was helping archaeologists excavate a 800-year-old log cabin, high above the Arctic Circle on the northern coast of Alaska.


They had pitched tents right on the beach. Over the course of a month, Peterson watched a gigantic pod of beluga whales swim along the beach, came face-to-face with hungry polar bear, invading their campsite, and helped dig out the skull of a rare type of polar bear.
But the most memorable thing happened right at the end of the trip.


"I noticed a red spot on the front of my leg," Peterson says. "It was about the size of a dime. It felt hot and hurt to touch."
The spot grew quickly. "After a few days, it was the size of a softball," he says.




Climate change ... could awaken Earth's forgotten pathogens," the Atlantic wrote back in November. "Many of these pathogens may be able to survive a gentle thaw — and if they do, researchers warn, they could reinfect humanity.

Possible.

It would be nice if the CDC could do some studies but anything with 'climate change' associated with it will not get funding under this administration.

Maybe there is some medicine in the frozen tundra too.

Some good bacteria we don't have use of now.

The negative is always used for fearmongering and gets the attention.

People like Trump believe that money will save them, the rest thing God will come back at any moment, so why worry?
