Many animals and plants buried in northern Siberia and Alaska live only in temperate climates today. Besides, mammoths were not Arctic animals. Yedomas and Loess, Multi-Continental, Suffoca tion, Vertical Compression. The crevasse theory does not explain the relationship of mammoths with yedomas and loess, why these peculiar events occurred over such wide areas on two continents, why some of these huge animals suffocated, or what caused the vertical compression found in Dima and Berezovka. Falling into a crevasse or being transported downhill in a glacier would not herd mammoths up onto islands or up near the higher elevations of flat, low plateaus.
Crevasses form only on steep slopes.
Mammoths are sometimes buried near Type 3 ice. Crevasses have only Type 2 ice. In contrast to rock ice, crevasses occur only on steep slopes. Frozen mammoths are found primarily in frozen muck, not ice. Let us assume that after Berezovka had eaten beans at the base of a glacier, he climbed up to a crevasse, fell in, and died.
