Ice Core, Antarctica and Drill

Antarctic Ice Core Unlocks 1.2 Million Years of Unbroken Climate History, Setting New Record
Led by The Institute of Polar Sciences of the National Research Council of Italy (ISP-CNR), the scientists worked for more than 200 days, drilling into the ice and processing the ice core at a remote site in East Antarctica called Little Dome C, with a balmy average summer temperature of -31 degrees Fahrenheit (-35 degrees Celsius).
Scientists Drill 1.7 Miles Into Antarctic Ice, Revealing 1.2 Million Years of Climate History
A team of 16 scientists and support staffers spent four summers drilling through Antarctic ice until they finally reached bedrock. To accomplish their goal, they endured average temperatures of -25.6 degrees Fahrenheit at a site known as Little Dome C, located near Concordia Research Station.
Scientists drill nearly 2 miles down to pull 1.2 million-year-old ice core from Antarctic
An international team of scientists say they’ve successfully drilled one of the oldest ice cores yet, penetrating nearly 2 miles to Antarctic bedrock to reach ice that's at least 1.2 million years old.
1.2-million-year-old ice pulled up from under Antarctica
This newly extracted ice preserved a record of our planet’s climate history, continuous information on atmospheric temperatures, and some clear samples of old air with greenhouse gases. “This is the longest continuous record of our past climate from an ice core,
Scientists Unearth 1.2 Million-Year-Old Ice Core in Antarctic Bedrock
Scientists have drilled a deep hole in the Antarctic bedrock that may hold information that dates back more than a million years.
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,
Scientists drill nearly 2 miles down to pull 1.2 million-year-old ice core from Antarctica
Analysis of the ancient ice is expected to show how Earth's atmosphere and climate have evolved. Scientists say it should provide insight into how Ice Age cycles have changed, and may help in understanding how atmospheric carbon changed climate.
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.
