The Iceman Scanneth

There’s little we like more than old weird medical exhibits (as long as they don’t use the bodies of prisoners and charge $40 to get in, you know who you are). Combine that with high-res images and a nice lil’ zooming interface and you’ve got online collection gold! It’s Iceman Photoscan, and it’s on your computer, now.

Strangely, there’s little written info on the site about The Iceman himself.

Also: a 3d feature and a section devoted to the dude’s tattoos.

And: This organization must have the coolest (no pun intended) name ever, for they are THE INSTITUTE FOR MUMMIES AND THE ICEMAN.
