👏 Bravo to the Million Year Ice Core team in #Antarctica @millionyearice.bsky.social for their ice-core drilling efforts this season, time-travelling to the last Ice Age over 13,100 years ago. 400.68m down, just 3000m-or-so to go! #MYIC
Nice video from the AAD ▶️

The successful extraction of the almost one metre-long core, at 151 metres depth, is a major milestone after seven years of work to design, build, test and commission the drill #MYIC #Antarctica.

#MYIC team has a close collaboration with the #BeyondEPICA #OldestIce team which has been working at Little Dome C since 2019. This includes acquiring multiple ice core records extending beyond one million years, for joint replication and verification.
#MYIC Drilling at Dome C North #Antarctica, about 50 km from Little Dome C, has begun in earnest, to retrieve the most detailed continuous record of how the Earth’s atmospheric composition and climate have changed over centuries @millionyearice.bsky.social
