I'm guessing you'll need to watch the upcoming documentary to find out. Or wait for an article post documentary.

Considering the state of the cameras I wouldn't be surprised if the film was at least partially exposed to light when they removed it from the ice.

#7> “From a cultural resource management perspective, it presents a rare and valuable opportunity to study change over time on an archaeological site in a dynamic glacial environment.”
It's cool that there are people who care so much to look into what can be learned from the minutiae of these kinds of one-off events. I suppose this case ladders up into archaeology as an entire field, but this kind of niche interest-within-an-interest exists all over the place. I find it really inspiring, it makes me proud of humanity!
