Scientists Drill 523 Meters Through Antarctic Ice, Uncovering 23 Million Years of Climate Secrets

Deep beneath Antarctica’s ice, scientists have uncovered a geological archive that could reshape predictions of future sea-level rise. Working roughly 700 kilometers from the closest Antarctic research stations, the team drilled through 523 meters of solid ice at Crary Ice Rise, located along the edge of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. Beneath the ice, they [...]
