What can be better than a 60 years old pair of socks in a bag?

Melting glacier doesn't seem like great news...

Don't look for pictures comparing glacier sizes in the 70s and 80s to today.

It makes me sad whenever I see how far some have receded.

The camera film is probably bad, right? It'd be cool if that somehow survived, but no one mentions it in the article so probably it's no go for whatever reason.

No light and colder than zero degrees? Might survive. Not sure about moisture though. The camera is probably fucked though due to rust.
