Alaska Boneyard

Beneath the ever-frozen ground of Alaska, lie the bones of Ice Age creatures that roamed this region tens of thousands of years ago: bison, wooly mammoths, and prehistoric bears. Stored in a permafrost deep-freeze for all this time, these remains are in pristine condition and represent an unprecedented window into the life of the Pleistocene Epoch. The bones are now being unearthed by an Alaskan gold miner named John Reeves, a private landowner with no scientific training whatsoever. But John has a passion for bones and for the collecting, and has assembled over a hundred thousand specimens from his mine site, "The Alaska Boneyard".
