Massive ice core is a ‘time machine’ that could help solve an ancient climate mystery, scientists say
Air bubbles within a deep ice core drilled in Antarctica could reveal why Earth suddenly began to experience longer ice ages nearly 1 million years ago.
Scientists build a 'time machine' by drilling an ice core 2-miles-deep in Antarctica
Scientists drilled a 2-mile-deep ice core in Antarctica, allowing them to peer back in time at Earth's climate over 1.2 million years ago.
Scientists drill nearly 2 miles 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 dig up 'world's oldest ice' in Antarctica
The ice contains ancient air bubbles, which experts hope could help answer key questions about our planet's climate history. Find out more here.
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.
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. Laid horizontally, the entire ice core's 2,800-meter (9,
