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 1.2 Million-Year-Old Ice Core From Antarctic Bedrock
This month, they finally saw the fruit of their labor. 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.
Scientists drill deep into the earth's core to reveal secrets of ancient ice
A team of scientists have drilled one of the oldest ice cores yet, penetrating nearly 2 miles to Antarctic bedrock to reach ice that is at least 1.2 million years old.
'Really unique': Ice core drilled by U of M scientist could unlock climate history
Dorthe Dahl-Jensen, a researcher from the University of Manitoba, was part of a team that successfully drilled into an ice core 2,800 metres in length, and uncovered the oldest ice core ever retrieved - more than 1.2 million years old. She said the core will give an insight into past climate patterns.
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,
Unearthing Secrets: The 1.2 Million-Year-old Antarctic Ice Core
An international team of scientists drilled a 1.2 million-year-old ice core in Antarctica, revealing insights into past climate and atmospheric changes. This achievement could enhance understanding of Ice Age cycles and current carbon levels,
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.
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.
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,
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.
Million year-old bubbles could solve ice age mystery
What is probably the world's oldest ice, dating back 1.2m years ago, has been dug out from deep within Antarctica.
