Gary sent in this link, www.sciencealert.com/mysterious-forgotten-volcanic-eruptions-in-history-... ... we know that dendrochronologists were happy wen the ice core people were persuaded to to accept a 7 year discrepancy between the two disciplines a few years ago. This revolved around the date of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius and the odd thing that two narrow growth tree ring events only had one volcano between them - but there was one 7 years later. In making the switch all was deemed well but it seems some other historical volcanoes then became out of kilter.

Both William and Gary sent in links to this story. At www.yahoo.com/news/woolly-rhino-remains-found-melting-151024751.html ... and www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-9096475/ ... the carcass of a woolly rhinoceros, a juvenile, has emerged from the Ice Age. Its hazle coloured coat of hair is still intact. It seems melting permafrost in this part of Siberia, the Sakha Republic, has already come up with some rare Ice Age remains such as a wolf cub and a baby mammoth. Even some of the internal organs are preserved by the cold weather - an icy tomb.

This is not that distant from the Storegga Shelf collapse in the North Sea, usually dated around 8000 years ago. Was something odd going on around the world?

At https://wattsupwiththat.com/2020/12/21/eastern-alps-may-have-been-ice-fr... ... the eastern side of the Alps may have been ice free in the life time of Otzi the iceman. It might  have been better to say the Alps, as a whole, may have been largely ice free in around 3200BC - but we already knew that. Otzi died on the summit of a mountain and was frozen in situ by a sudden onset of very cold weather. He remained in the ice all the way down to 1991 when the snout of a glacier delivered him at a much lower elevation. Glaciers move over time.
