Oldest Unbroken Record of Earth's Climate Pulled From Antarctic Ice Sheet
A colossal ice core sample drilled in Antarctica may contain the oldest, unbroken timeline of Earth's climate, stretching back more than a million years.
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.
Unlocking Earth’s Deep Freeze: Scientists Drill Oldest Ice Core
In a groundbreaking achievement, scientists have extracted the oldest continuous ice core ever drilled, reaching back 1.2 million years into Earth's climate history. This 2,800-meter-long core, obtained from Dome C in Antarctica,
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 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.
Scientists Recover 1.2 Million-Year-Old Ice Core From Two Miles Deep in Antarctica
Cool As You Like An international team of scientists have drilled nearly two miles down into the Antarctic bedrock, extracting an ice core sample that's estimated to be at least 1.2 million years old,
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.
Nearly 2-Mile-Long Ice Core Drilled From Antarctica Is Set to Reveal Upwards of 2.5 Million Years of Climate Data
An ice core was recently drilled out of the Antarctic continent and while it’s impressive in size, its scientific significance cannot be overstated. Experts say it could provide unprecedented climate data going back millions of years.
