Scientists Drill Nearly 2 Miles Down To Pull 1.2 Million-year-old Ice Core From Antarctic

A team of international scientists has achieved a groundbreaking milestone by drilling one of the deepest and oldest ice cores ever recovered in Antarctica. The ice, estimated to be over 1.2 million years old, promises unprecedented insights into Earth's climatic and atmospheric history. Conducted at the frigid Little Dome C site, the Beyond EPICA project uncovered critical data on greenhouse gases and ancient climate cycles, raising questions about the stark contrast with today’s elevated carbon dioxide levels. This discovery holds profound implications for understanding Earth's environmental past and the drivers of climate change.
