Glacier Mice

Huh

> they have been observed in Alaska, Chile, Greenland, Iceland, Svalbard, Uganda and Venezuela

Well, today I learned, Venezuela has glaciers.

Then I googled that, and…

And so today I learned, Venezuela used to have glaciers.

Always love seeing a link to wikipedia.org on the front page. Pretty much guaranteed to make me go "oh, neat" :)

I did a bit of searching, and couldn't find a single timelapse of glacier mice movement. Time for a trip to the mountains with some cameras!

jökla-mýs is a wonderful name, you gotta love icelandic. A swede might also associate it too "jäkla mys" - god damn cozy!

Here in Switzerland when children order shrimp at a restaurant I tell them that they come from the shrimp mines in the glaciers.

Dunno about you, but I was really hoping to see mice not moss :/

Remember seeing these in Iceland

TIL. Life never ceases to amaze.

reminds me vaguely of "Sailing Stones"
