6 million-year-old ice discovered in Antarctica shatters records — and there's ancient air trapped inside
Researchers have found 6 million-year-old ice in the Allan Hills region of Antarctica and say the oldest-of-its-kind sample offers an unprecedented view into Earth's ancient climate.
Six-Million-Year-Old Ice Discovered In Antarctica Offers An Unprecedented Window Into A Warmer Earth
Eddie Gonzales Jr. – MessageToEagle.com – A team of U.S. scientists has discovered the oldest directly dated ice and air on the planet in the Allan Hills region of East Antarctica. The 6-million-year-old ice and the tiny air bubbles trapped inside it provide an unprecedented window into Earth’s past climate, according to a new study […]
In Antarctica, researchers have extracted ice cores containing trapped air bubbles, hundreds of millennia old, providing a glimpse of the Earth's atmosphere at a warmer time and helping to refine understanding of ancient climates.
In the heart of Antarctica, remains remain intact for extremely long periods of time. This is where scientists have been able to extract trapped air for six million years, a key step in understanding the climate history of our planet.
The valuable ice samples offer new information about the Earth's climate system over the last 6 million years.
