Antarctic sea ice rebounds from record lows: US scientists
Antarctic sea ice rebounded in December after a long period of record lows, US scientists said, giving pause to speculation that Earth's frozen continent could be undergoing a permanent change.This followed a "prolonged period of record to near-record daily lows" in 2023 and 2024 -- the hottest years in the history books for global temperature rises driven by climate change.
Scientists drill nearly 2 miles down to pull 1.2 million-year-old ice core from Antarctic
The research should provide insight into how ice age cycles have changed and help in understanding how atmospheric carbon changed climate.
1.2-million-year-old ice pulled up from under Antarctica
This newly extracted ice preserved a record of our planet’s climate history, continuous information on atmospheric temperatures, and some clear samples of old air with greenhouse gases. “This is the longest continuous record of our past climate from an ice core,
Antarctic Ice Core Unlocks 1.2 Million Years of Unbroken Climate History, Setting New Record
Antarctic ice, however, has been at it for over a million. An international team of scientists has extracted a 1.74-mile-long (2.8 kilometers) ice core in Antarctica, hitting the frozen continent’s bedrock.
