The melting snow is expected to uncover a wealth of historical artifacts, offering a rare glimpse into the region’s distant past.</p>
<p>A similar phenomenon occurred a decade ago during a particularly dry and warm summer in Møre and Romsdal County. That season saw a significant increase in reports of ancient artifacts emerging from the thawing snow. This year, with similar weather conditions, archaeologists are anticipating another surge in discoveries.</p>
