The fourth Antarctic campaign of the Beyond EPICA-Oldest Ice project has achieved a historic milestone this week, by successfully drilling a 2800-metre-long ice core, consisting of ice from the Antarctic ice sheet which is more than 1.2 million years old.

Antarctica historic milestone, successful drilling of a 2.800 meters long ice core, more than 1.2 million years old

Scientists in East Antarctica are about to get a peek into the Earth’s climate history dating back 1.2 million years thanks to freshly drilled ice core samples. The cores just might provide us with reams of data on the fluctuations in the Earth’s climate, including tons of information on periods of extreme cooling that impacted early humans. Ice core samples are little frozen time capsules. They preserve ancient atmospheric gases like carbon dio…

University of Manitoba - What can the longest continuous ice core record tell us about climate change? A UM scientist is finding out

The extraction of a 1.2 million-year-old ice core from Antarctica, after making a tunnel of almost three kilometers deep into the mother rock of the white continent, could shed light on the evolution of climate on Earth from the very beginning of the planet. The data allow us to obtain a continuous record of the history of our climate, for a million years ago and even further in the past.

La extracción de un núcleo de hielo de 1,2 millones de años de la Antártida, luego de realizar un túnel de casi 3 kilómetros de profundidad hacia la roca madre del continente blanco, podría arrojar luz sobre la evolución del clima en la Tierra desde los inicios del planeta. Los datos permiten obtener un registro continuo de la historia de nuestro clima, desde hace un millón de años atrás e incluso más lejos en el pasado.

An ancient Antarctic ice core unveils the secrets of climate in the early days of the Earth

In a jaw-dropping feat, European scientists have pulled off something incredible: they’ve managed to extract ice that’s more than 1.2 million years old from the Antarctic ice sheet. This smashes the previous record of 800,000 years, giving us a rare peek into Earth’s ancient climate. Not only is this a big win for science, but it’s also loaded with data that could help us better understand past atmospheric conditions and what they mean for today…
