Watch: Inside the lab analysing the world's oldest ice
Ice cores from Antarctica, extracted 2.8km deep, have been brought to the British Antarctic Survey for study after a laborious extraction process. Scientists are now working tirelessly to analyze the ancient ice cores, some over 1.5 million years old, by melting them down. This project involved years of effort and massive collaboration, aiming to unearth invaluable environmental data spanning over a million years from the South Pole.
