From "The Voyage of Wulfstan" - late 9th c.
(Ests = Estonians)
"Among the Ests there is a group of people who understand the process of freezing. And the reason why the dead men lie there so long without decaying is that they freeze them. If two vessels full of water or ale are set down, they cause one of the two to freeze over, in summer and winter alike."
p. 5, The Viking Age: A reader
