Air bubbles within a deep ice core drilled in Antarctica could reveal why Earth suddenly began to experience longer ice ages nearly 1 million years ago.

Scientists say they have tapped into an extraordinary archive of the Earth’s climate in the ice deep beneath Antarctica. They hope it will help them understand both how the climate changed in ...

Australian scientists have started analysing the first batch of samples from the "Million Year Ice Core" project.

The remains of landscapes thought to have formed when ancient rivers flowed across East Antarctica have been discovered—and ...

A total collapse of the roughly 80-mile-wide Thwaites Glacier, the widest in the world, would trigger changes that could lead ...

Air bubbles within a deep ice core drilled in Antarctica could reveal why Earth suddenly began to experience longer ice ages nearly 1 million years ago.

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 ...

The team had to drill some 2 miles deep to get enough ice to study a 50,000 year time span. After conducting an extensive chemical analysis, the researchers discovered just how extreme and outlier the ...

Humans have been recording the weather for thousands of years. 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 ...

Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery in Antarctica, uncovering a 1.2-million-year-old ice core. This ancient ice holds valuable data on past climate conditions, which could help us ...

Antarctica may seem pristine and almost devoid of life, but there's plenty of chemistry going on. Victoria Atkinson explains ...
