Description: In the wake of an earthquake, the water level of an Icelandic lake drops suddenly, revealing the half-buried skeleton of a man. There is a large hole in the skull. Yet more mysteriously, a heavy communication device is attached to it, possibly some sort of radio transmitter, bearing inscriptions in Russian.
