Scientists Drill 1.7 Miles Into Antarctic Ice, Revealing 1.2 Million Years of Climate History
Scientists have drilled 1.7 miles deep into Antarctica, pulling up an ice core sample that dates back at least 1.2 million years. They expect the sample to offer new insights into the evolution of Earth’s climate and atmosphere throughout history.
Scientists drill nearly 2 miles down to pull 1.2 million-year-old ice core from Antarctic
The research should provide insight into how ice age cycles have changed and help in understanding how atmospheric carbon changed climate.
Antarctica: Historic drilling campaign reaches more than 1.2-million-year-old ice
The fourth Antarctic campaign of the “Beyond EPICA - Oldest Ice” project, funded by the European Commission, has achieved a historic milestone for climate science. An international team of scientists successfully drilled a 2,
Frozen Time Capsule: Scientists Unearth 1.2-Million-Year-Old Ice in Antarctica
In a remarkable scientific achievement, researchers from the Beyond EPICA – Oldest Ice project have successfully drilled a 2,800-meter (9,186-foot) long ice core from the remote Little Dome C site in Antarctica.
Scientists Drill 1.2 Million-Year-Old Ice Core From Antarctic Bedrock
By drilling 1.7 miles beneath the icy surface, the team has pulled a 1.2 million-year-old ice core from Antarctic bedrock. The gases trapped in the core are expected to yield "high-resolution" insights into Earth's climate history.
