Inside the lab melting the world’s oldest ice

The ice core was dug from 2.8 km in the ice cover in Antarctica, and they reached the British survey in Antarctica at the beginning of the summer.

During the past few weeks, a team is working around the clock to study ice. The only way to do this is to destroy precious samples – by melting.

Rebecca Morel from the BBC with scientists because they melt the past few ice cores for analysis – this is the largest of at least 1.5 million years.

It took years of work and study of the world in the world for years of work and hundreds of people. Samples taken from the Antarctic will provide an environmental number for more than a million years.
