A duo of hikers came upon a well-preserved body while walking near Edmonton, Canada. A melting glacier had given up the body, and it’s been ID’d as an American climber who’s been missing for 21 years.

Parks Canada rescue specialist Garth Lemke told The Canadian Press news service that the glacier ice that covered the body had melted, leaving an eerie scene.

“By the time we got there the body was fully exposed. We didn’t have to chip the body out at all,” Lemke told the news service.

The man is William Holland, who disappeared in the icefields while hiking a treacherous route in April 1989.
