A near-perfectly preserved baby woolly mammoth in Yukon is just the tip of the iceberg, so to speak, when it comes to finding prehistoric creatures long buried in the Arctic permafrost. But for scientists, those discoveries can feel like a double-edged sword — coming as climate change and human activities thaw and carve away the ground that's been frozen for thousands of years.
