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.
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.
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,
1.2-million-year-old ice pulled up from under Antarctica
At 1.2-million-years-old, a newly uncovered Antarctic ice core represents the oldest known ice on the planet. The 1.7 mile-long ice core was recovered from over 9,000 feet (2,800 meters) deep underground,
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.
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 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.
