What scientists found beneath Antarctica’s ice after drilling over 1,700 feet down
Scientists have retrieved the deepest sediment core ever from beneath Antarctic ice, spanning nearly 23 million years. This remarkable find, recovered from Crary Ice Rise, offers crucial insights into past climate shifts and higher temperatures. The SWAIS2C project's achievement promises to refine future climate change predictions and sea-level rise models, highlighting Antarctica's vital role in global climate understanding.
