Flash frozen mammoths, not mastodons, were found in Siberia. :')

*shrug* The best grazing is right at the base of the glaciers. The glaciers act as a windbreak, and there is plenty of water and sunlight reflecting off the ice, providing the best warmth and light for plant growth.

The down side is big slabs of ice break off the face.

A mammoth grazing a bit too near when this happens is instantly pounded into the permafrost and buried in ice.
