This is a pretty amazing find from Norway . It is a largely complete wooden ski, which recently emerged from a glacier. The ski measures 172 cm in length by 14.5 cm in width and contains leather straps for securing the foot. It is estimated to be c. 1300 years old and was recovered from a site that has produced hundreds of artifacts in recent years, due to the receding ice sheet. More information (in Norwegian) on the artifact can be found here.
