Scientists drill nearly 2 miles down to pull 1.2 million-year-old ice core from Antarctic
An international team of scientists say they’ve successfully drilled one of the oldest ice cores yet, penetrating nearly 2 miles to Antarctic bedrock to reach ice that's at least 1.2 million years old.
Scientists Unearth 1.2 Million-Year-Old Ice Core in Antarctic Bedrock
Scientists have drilled a deep hole in the Antarctic bedrock that may hold information that dates back more than a million years.
Ice core that goes back 1.2 million years drilled by scientists in Antarctica
An international team of scientists announced yesterday they have successfully drilled one of the oldest ice cores yet, penetrating nearly 2.8km to Antarctic bedrock to reach ice they say is at least 1.
1.2-million-year-old ice pulled up from under Antarctica
At 1.2-million-years-old, a newly uncovered Antarctic ice core represents the oldest known ice on the planet. The 1.7 mile-long ice core was recovered from over 9,000 feet (2,800 meters) deep underground,
'Really unique': Ice core drilled by U of M scientist could unlock climate history
Dorthe Dahl-Jensen, a researcher from the University of Manitoba, was part of a team that successfully drilled into an ice core 2,800 metres in length, and uncovered the oldest ice core ever retrieved - more than 1.2 million years old. She said the core will give an insight into past climate patterns.

Unearthing Secrets: The 1.2 Million-Year-old Antarctic Ice Core
An international team of scientists drilled a 1.2 million-year-old ice core in Antarctica, revealing insights into past climate and atmospheric changes. This achievement could enhance understanding of Ice Age cycles and current carbon levels,
Antarctica: Historic drilling campaign reaches more than 1.2-million-year-old ice
The fourth Antarctic campaign of the “Beyond EPICA - Oldest Ice” project, funded by the European Commission, has achieved a historic milestone for climate science. An international team of scientists successfully drilled a 2,
Scientists drill nearly 2 miles down to pull 1.2 million-year-old ice core from Antarctica
Analysis of the ancient ice is expected to show how Earth's atmosphere and climate have evolved. Scientists say it should provide insight into how Ice Age cycles have changed, and may help in understanding how atmospheric carbon changed climate.
