P38
You'd think it would be incredibly fragile in that environment.
The story of Glacier Girl and the other aircraft of the lost squadron is absolutely fascinating - so many false starts to the expedition, such infighting by the people involved and such ingenuity displayed in it's eventual recovery.
They said the B17 they l went down to see looked like it had been ripped apart by a giant, shaken up in a bag and the pieces deposited in their approximate positions.
Eventually the remains of the rest of the aircraft will one day be deposited into the sea at the end of the glacier.
