The wreckage has clearly been gathered together and put into one location for photographic purposes. The use of a silver birch sapling to prop up the tail is evidence of this. The engine, too, is at another location it would seem. Presumably recovered, partially cleaned/restored and covered over with a protective grey blanket.

Thanks, Andy. That's more or less what I thought was the most likely scenario on this. Dug up nearby, cleaned, piled and photographed. As everyone else has said, the preservation is remarkable. Long live permafrost!
