justinmangus29 — 2025-10-06 15:40:33 UTC

ezrahwiest29 — 2025-10-06 15:40:42 UTC

I first noticed the antler things

izayahvarner29 — 2025-10-06 15:40:46 UTC

diving in what looks like it could be ice water

ezrahwiest29 — 2025-10-06 15:41:06 UTC

than i noticed the person coming out of the water

izayahvarner29 — 2025-10-06 15:41:10 UTC

mammoth tusks and a hole cut in the water

2025-10-06 15:41:20 UTC

I noticed the guy was coming out of the ice water.

ezrahwiest29 — 2025-10-06 15:41:44 UTC

i think theyre digging up animal bones from underwater

i saw the the yellow cord looking deeper in the photo

justinmangus29 — 2025-10-06 15:41:45 UTC

I noticed a guy coming out of the ice water at first glance.

neikowihongi29 — 2025-10-06 15:41:45 UTC

tusks

jaxsonhagerman29 — 2025-10-06 15:41:55 UTC

i notice what looks to be tusks of some sort of large animal possibly a mammoth

amelliallewelly29 — 2025-10-06 15:42:02 UTC

I noticed that they're in a tent of some sort

ethanleicht29 — 2025-10-06 15:42:05 UTC

I noticed the antlers or the round things on the sides of the picture.

2025-10-06 15:42:06 UTC

He is finding big tusks and other bones.

i noticed the scuba diver coming out of the ice

dannerschmidt29 — 2025-10-06 15:42:12 UTC

jaxsonhagerman29 — 2025-10-06 15:42:22 UTC

i missed that it seems like theyre inside of a tent or something

paytenbeirman26 — 2025-10-06 15:42:22 UTC

At first i thought it was some sort of machine.

lillyanncouture29 — 2025-10-06 15:42:34 UTC

The first thing I noticed was what looks like a diver coming out from ice

izayahvarner29 — 2025-10-06 15:42:34 UTC

I think theyre diving into the water to find more fossils

I saw they were in a containment area of some sort when I looked deeper into the photo

neikowihongi29 — 2025-10-06 15:42:35 UTC

the rope on the ground is what i missed at first glance

dannerschmidt29 — 2025-10-06 15:42:46 UTC

i think the guy was hunting for fossils in the water because he has snorkel gear on holding a fossilized tooth from the water

justinmangus29 — 2025-10-06 15:43:14 UTC

mackenzicooley26 — 2025-10-06 15:43:20 UTC

i noticed the detailed lines on the wall

2025-10-06 15:43:21 UTC

at first glance i saw big tusk-looking things surrounding the diver

i think the scuba diver was diving and found some extinct animals tusks or horns

dannerschmidt29 — 2025-10-06 15:43:22 UTC

ethanleicht29 — 2025-10-06 15:43:23 UTC

I saw that there's almost some sort of camouflage in the background.

lillyanncouture29 — 2025-10-06 15:43:23 UTC

After looking I noticed a tent around the area also the the diver looks like they have a tool like an ice pick around there wrist maybe to get the tusk out of the ice

Bri_Philumalee — 2025-10-06 15:43:28 UTC

ice fosils and scuba diver

2025-10-06 15:43:42 UTC

This guy went diving in an ice lake to find fossils and found huge tusks and other bones.

lydiaschreine29 — 2025-10-06 15:43:48 UTC

I first noticed the two giant tusks on the sides

Bri_Philumalee — 2025-10-06 15:44:00 UTC

tent thingy

ethanleicht29 — 2025-10-06 15:44:02 UTC

I think they're hunting for fossils and other sorts of bones.

cheyenneholmquis29 — 2025-10-06 15:44:06 UTC

At first, I saw a diver in the ice surrounded by more ice and horns likely from a woolly mammoth.

crystalguzman29 — 2025-10-06 15:44:07 UTC

I noticed that she is retriving somethings on first glance.

mackenzicooley26 — 2025-10-06 15:44:08 UTC

i saw the guy when i looked deeper at the photo

lillyanncouture29 — 2025-10-06 15:44:13 UTC

I think that they are diving for something under the ice

jamysondye29 — 2025-10-06 15:44:16 UTC

At first glance, I noticed the person in a sort of diving suit coming out of the water and giant fossil-like sort of tusks

2025-10-06 15:44:18 UTC

there looks like a yellow rope that might help the diver from wondering to far away

Bri_Philumalee — 2025-10-06 15:44:27 UTC

finding mamoth tusks or sm under the ice

jaxsonhagerman29 — 2025-10-06 15:44:28 UTC

i think they are searching in water under some sort of frozen lake and trying to find either just any animal remains or specific parts of a certain singular(deceased) animal.

bellawest28 — 2025-10-06 15:44:29 UTC

I noticed the antler thing that the scuba diver is holding, and all the ice around him and in the water

I noticed there were also fossils in the photo so maybe they are swimming to excavate large fossils from a cold and icy area.

neikowihongi29 — 2025-10-06 15:45:00 UTC

crystalguzman29 — 2025-10-06 15:45:18 UTC

I saw on closer look that they are emerging from a hole of ice in a tent.

lydiaschreine29 — 2025-10-06 15:45:28 UTC

I think the diver is searching in the ice or glacier for mammoth fossils

cheyenneholmquis29 — 2025-10-06 15:45:37 UTC

Then I saw a long yellow cord going into the water

the first thing i notice was the guy

sarahdias29_1 — 2025-10-06 15:45:46 UTC

2025-10-06 15:46:03 UTC

i think a diver may be in the arctic or an ice-y place/ area to go and retrieve or find the material they are holding, as well as the thing behind them

cheyenneholmquis29 — 2025-10-06 15:46:19 UTC

I think he's diving for fossils and whatever else he can find under the water

2025-10-06 15:46:22 UTC

I think he's pulling animal horns out of the water.

paytenbeirman26 — 2025-10-06 15:46:27 UTC

I realized there was a person and some tusk looking objects and they are in some sort of snow/ ice area with chords and diving gear on as well. I also can see that the tusks look like they are dirty based of what i see the ice/ snow turning a sort of brown color. They are also in a diving suit that seems to have layers to keep them warm in the ice cold water. The tusks are also not fully in tact.

mackenzicooley26 — 2025-10-06 15:46:28 UTC

i think the guy is cleaning out the hole thing because it shows him touching the sharp thing

lydiaschreine29 — 2025-10-06 15:47:02 UTC

I noticed the background that looked like a camo canopy, and it may be blocking the area from anyone seeing

At first glance, I noticed a diver coming out of deep cold water.

finneganpeterson26 — 2025-10-06 15:47:07 UTC

bellawest28 — 2025-10-06 15:47:16 UTC

When looking deeper, I noticed they're in a camouflage tent, and the water must be deep because there is a lifeline cord

then i noticed the hole in the water

sarahdias29_1 — 2025-10-06 15:47:17 UTC

crystalguzman29 — 2025-10-06 15:47:30 UTC

I think they are retriving fossils for scienc

Then, when looking closer, I could see that it looks like when he comes out, he 's in the middle of some type of frozen forest.

finneganpeterson26 — 2025-10-06 15:47:52 UTC

jamysondye29 — 2025-10-06 15:48:08 UTC

Looking deeper, I saw that the person isn't just in ice water, but the ground also appears to be ice, though there also seems to be walls of a sort of tent. On top of this, I noticed that the larger tusk seems to be broken, and the person seems to be holding a smaller tusk that appears to be still attached to a sort of skull.

bellawest28 — 2025-10-06 15:48:50 UTC

Taking an educated guess, I think they're on a diving expedition to find fossils someplace really cold.

jenicaclapp29 — 2025-10-06 15:48:56 UTC

I noticed the bright yellow rope details on first glance.

i thing the guy was digging up bones form under the water

sarahdias29_1 — 2025-10-06 15:48:58 UTC

I think the diver is trying to find frozen bones that end up in the lake during winter.

finneganpeterson26 — 2025-10-06 15:49:05 UTC

paytenbeirman26 — 2025-10-06 15:49:23 UTC

The person sems to be ice diving and looking for the remains of something, and/ or not expecting to find this big of a treasure. These tusks look like they are the remains of a mammoth. I say this because they are too big to be a walrus, and also they are found under the water in a very cold place, probably Antarctica. I don't know of any other animals that would have this kind of tusk rather than an elephant, but same as with what i said before, this is in a very very cold environment so no elephant would be able to survive out here.

2025-10-06 15:49:23 UTC

I noticed the animal's horns at first glance

jamysondye29 — 2025-10-06 15:49:46 UTC

I believe that the person in the photo is an archeologist of sorts who is searching for/found fossils stuck in the ice from the previous ice age

jenicaclapp29 — 2025-10-06 15:50:12 UTC

I saw the camo backround details when looking deeper at the photo.

jenicaclapp29 — 2025-10-06 15:52:38 UTC

I think someone is diving for old bones underwater because of the diver, the rope, and the person coming up from the water holding a bone.

The first thing i noticed about this photo was that she was underwater holding the sharp thing

molleerunyon29 — 2025-10-06 15:57:38 UTC

At first i didn't really realize that the tent their in has snow on the ground, telling me that she's in a colder place

molleerunyon29 — 2025-10-06 16:00:53 UTC

I think the photo story is about the man finding the animal tusks underwater

molleerunyon29 — 2025-10-06 16:04:06 UTC

2025-10-06 20:52:30 UTC

I noticed right away that whatever that object is, it is in the snow.

2025-10-06 20:53:06 UTC

At fist glance, I missed that there is a yellow wire in the snow.

2025-10-06 20:54:23 UTC

I think that someone was trying to gather items from under the water because that's what the photo is telling me.

2025-10-07 16:42:43 UTC

It looks like that their is some tusks in the photo

2025-10-07 16:43:25 UTC

there is snow

2025-10-07 16:48:35 UTC

it looks like someone like a diver or some sort of archaeologist recovering fossils from a cold place
