thatscienceguy:A 54 year old message in a bottle has been found in the arctic region of Canada. The message was found by researchers from Laval university in Quebec, it was left by geologists Paul Walker and Albert Crary.“To whom it may concern, this and a similar cairn 21.3 feet to the west were set on July 10, 1959. The distance from this cairn to the glacier edge about four feet from the rock floor is 168.3 feet. Anyone venturing this way is requested to remeasure this distance and send the information to Walker’s Ohio address.” the note read. “Thank you very much.”It turned out that the glacier had receded 200ft from its position 54 years ago, One of the researchers stated that it was remarkable the geologists thought to do this way back in the 50’s, before the concept of global warming and melting glaciers was thought of. -- source link
