Iceman Photo Scan


Ötzi the Iceman is the modern name of a well-preserved natural mummy of a man from about 3300 BC. The mummy was found in 1991 in the Schnalstal glacier in the Ötztal Alps on the border between Austria and Italy. He is Europe's oldest natural human mummy, and has offered an unprecedented view of Chalcolithic Europeans.

The Iceman Photo Scan is an innovative project which records the complete photographic documentation of the body of the Iceman mummy. The intuitive zoom function enables a high-resolution navigation, from a total body image down to millimetric detail.
