Melting glacier reveals World War I ammunition

Some of the more than 200 pieces of World War I ammunition which emerged from a melting glacier on a Trentino mountain peak are seen, Aug. 31. Each piece weighs between 7-10 kilos, and the 85-100 mm caliber explosive devices were found at an altitude of 3,200 meters, when a once-perennial glacier on the Ago de Nardis peak partially melted due to a recent heat wave that reached into Italy's highest peaks. The Finance Police Alpine rescue unit, operating in the area between Pinzolo and Madonna di Campiglio, saw brownish metal points emerging from the ice, got a fix on them via GPS, and then extricated the ordnance. The pieces were spread over a 100-square-meter area during series of battles fought between the armies of Austria-Hungary and Italy in northern Italy between 1915 and 1918. Disposal specialists returned to dispose of the munitions.

I looked at the photo with Deuem and I did not find anything active. But I would say that the shadow it is casting is very strange compared to the rest of the objects. It is in the wrong place and seems to be on a wall of sorts. Yet the hill fades away. So maybe it is just in the shadow and not a shadow. Figure the shadow out and maybe you will get the object. It is always amazing how clean all the craters are, like they have been groomed. I would think an impact of the size would make a big mess. But there it is, nice and clean. More like a lake bottom.  Deuem
