It is an interesting region. I used to go skiing there every year for a few years. From the village you look up at the mountain that got pounded and wonder how the men endured. I stayed at a family run inn that was in continuous business for a few hundred years. Lots of war relics lined the walls of the inn.

There is an awful lot of blood there. The 12 Battles of the Isonzo were horrific butchery between the Austro-Hungarian and Italian armies. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battles_of_the_isonzo#Number_of_battles "Cumulative casualties of the numerous battles of the Isonzo were enormous. Half of the entire Italian war casualty total – some 300,000 of 600,000 – were suffered along the Soča (Isonzo). Austro-Hungarian losses, while by no means as numerous were nevertheless high at around 200,000 (of an overall total of around 1.2 million casualties)."

The retreating ice reveals those scars, along with the men who died there
Bad news for global warmists? The ice wasn't there when they fell, and the retreating ice revealed them

Rest in peace. If the iceman they discovered from 5000 years ago has living relatives in the area, then these two are even more likely to.
