This ice is old. Like, *OLD* old 🧊⌛

In search of climate data from 1.2 million years ago, scientists have just sampled some of the oldest ice on earth for the first time!

The full ice core is 2.8km long - drilled deep through the thick East Antarctic ice sheet down to bedrock.

WaterUniverse. How about a 52,000 year old Antarctic ice core drop for my first post. Water is still a mystery, let us not take it for granted!
