Jay Storz, a professor of biological sciences at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, works to excavate a mouse mummy on the summit of an Andean volcano. Analyses of 13 mummified cadavers, combined with the capture of live specimens, suggest that the rodents scaled the Mars-like peaks on their own — and are somehow managing to live on them.
