That made me very frustrated! Here's the proper article, with actual pictures: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/2000-artifacts-pul...

Thanks for the link. Aside from the OP article's basic regurgitation of prior (perhaps stale - I couldn't read it either being behind a "sign-in wall"), the Smithsonian author clearly didn't view it as a race against time and human-induced climate change, but merely an unexpected windfall for researchers:

"There are countless negative impacts of the changing climate, but the recovery of these artifacts could be an unexpected positive. Our uncertain climate future may inadvertently help researchers learn more about our past."

That tunic is incredible! I can't believe it's around 1700 years old. I wonder how fast it would deteriorate once melted from the ice if it wasn't discovered.

The glaciers melting is a sad thing but at least this aspect of it is exciting.

Excellent sources, mostly Norwegian, but there are pictures and some English resources on those two web sites:

If you scroll down far enough there are some (perhaps they were added later).

The 'wrenches' look to me like some thing used to pull on or to tighten some sort of string or rope.

Much as I dislike Twitter links, there are lots of good pictures here: https://twitter.com/brearkeologi

And lots of illustrations of snowmen and melting ice lollies.
