Historic: Scientists extract 1.2-million-year-old ice core in Antarctic

An international team of scientists has drilled nearly two miles into Antarctic bedrock, extracting a 1.2 million-year-old ice core. This breakthrough, achieved by Beyond EPICA at Little Dome C, promises unprecedented insights into Earth's climate history, revealing changes in greenhouse gases and atmospheric conditions over millennia.
