They went straight away and picked it up and, because their base is located for 18 kilometres from the coast, quickly put it on a glacier. Therefore, it is very well preserved. Even the brain has been preserved."

After a 14-day journey from Vladivostok the Russian capital, the mammoth was placed in a specially-built cryogenic chamber at a temperature of -18^0C (-0.4^0F). The chamber has windows which allow passers-by to see the beast as part of an exhibition called 'Mammoth Yuka is an Ambassador of Peace'. The mammoth was found in 2010 on the shores of the Laptev Sea in Yakutia, from where it got the name 'Yuka'. It is the first specimen to be found with its carcass completely preserved.
