The Frozen Lake
The remains are littered around and under the ice at the skeletons lake, which was founded in 1942 by a British ranger patrolling in the forest.
The lake remains frozen for the most part of the year, expanding and shrinking depending on the season and weather. The skeleton can be seen only when the snow thaws, at times flesh, are attached and they are well preserved.
