In The Relentless Moon by Mary Robinette Kowal, Alfred Wegener's remains are uncovered by the receding snow and ice in one of the chapter opening's news articles. (In 1963).
Wikipedia says that "Six months later, on 12 May 1931, Wegener's skis were discovered. Expedition members built a pyramid-shaped mausoleum in the ice and snow, and Alfred Wegener's body was laid to rest."
So, less they found his body for the first time, and more, they rediscovered it.
I did find this notation on Findagrave: "Burial Details Unknown. Specifically: laid to rest where he died in Greenland. Original iron cross and grave now covered over by 2 mile sheet of blue-green ice that covers much of Greenland.. Source:"origins, The Evolution of Continents, Oceans, and Life" by Ron Redfern"
Okay, okay, I get what you're saying now, Mary. I just had to look further to understand.
The article quotes his actual grandson, too, who was born 1939 (so in his late 20s in the book).

Spent a ridiculous amount of time last night obsessively editing my hand written zines in Photoshop to take away any tiny blemishes so they were definitely readable.
Whatever. Understand or don't.

I was going to embroider a rose or something in the corner of this handkerchief, but then I realized I could do a wizard, so obviously I did a wizard.

Do you ever think about how almost all of N’s Pokémon throughout the first games were one offs he released after he battled you, how he cared about them all deeply enough that he thought it would be selfish to have them battle more than necessary. And do you ever think about how this is the case with all his Pokémon EXCEPT his Klinklang in the final battle at the league, where the second to last battle he had a Klink and this Klinklang is very likely that same Pokémon? Do you think this was a visual representation of his mindset wavering from a fixed point? How that Klink refused to leave him right away and he couldn’t bring himself to force them to leave because his mind is in so many different directions? He can keep them around just a little longer until he becomes champion, it won’t be long, he can bend things some so long as he doesn’t fully stray from his path…right?
Or is that just me am I the only one willing to be insane about Klinklang of all Pokémon
