Unique 1.5m year-old ice to be melted to unlock mystery

Scientists at the British Antarctic Survey will melt a 1.5 million-year-old ice core to study Earth's climate history. Extracted from deep within the Antarctic ice sheet, the ice cores contain vital data on climate change, wind patterns, temperatures, and sea levels from ancient eras. The international effort aims to unlock the mysteries of the planet's environmental history and provide insights into the impact of rising greenhouse gases on the climate.
