Mammoth research, Siberia, 1902
Mammoth researchers outside a hut at an excavation site in Siberia in January 1902. Mammoths were a species of giant, hairy, elephant-like mammals that went extinct around the end of the last Ice Age 10, 000 years ago. Some of their remains, preserved deep in the frozen tundra by the cold Siberian climate, have been uncovered by excavations. The first such excavations took place in the late 19th century. This site is near the Berezovka River, in the Republic of Sakhia (Yakutia), Russia

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library takes us back to the year 1902 in Siberia, where a group of mammoth researchers are seen gathered outside a humble hut at an excavation site. These dedicated scientists are on a mission to uncover the remains of mammoths, magnificent creatures that roamed the Earth thousands of years ago but became extinct towards the end of the last Ice Age. Located near the Berezovka River in Yakutia, Russia, this frozen tundra has preserved these ancient relics due to its harsh climate. The first excavations began in the late 19th century and have since provided valuable insights into our planet's history. In this image, we see men clad in heavy parkas braving the unforgiving winter conditions as they work tirelessly to unravel nature's secrets. Their determination is palpable as they meticulously dig through layers of snow and ice. The log hut stands as a symbol of their temporary refuge amidst this desolate landscape. It serves as both shelter and laboratory for these paleontologists who dedicate their lives to understanding prehistoric life forms. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded not only of mankind's relentless pursuit of knowledge but also our deep connection with Earth's past inhabitants. This image captures a moment frozen in time - an emblematic representation of scientific exploration and our never-ending quest for answers about our world's fascinating history.
