Scientists will melt the world’s oldest ice‎
The ice was found in eastern Antarctica and is 1.2 million years old. Scientists in the UK decided to melt the ice to examine the contents. They are not melting the ice for what it is; they’re melting it to see what is inside.
For what?‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎
Scientists say there could be ancient‎ algae that got stuck, ancient dust, and volcanic‎ ash. These items can predict many things from the past. For example, what wind patterns, temperature, and sea levels were like before.‎ When studied, scientists found everything they expected except for‎ ancient air bubbles.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎
How the ice was extracted‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎
In the temperature of -35 °C, an international team of scientists drilled a 1.7-mile-long piece of ice. Then the scientists chopped the ice into metre-long cubes. After that, the scientists carefully transported them to many labs in Europe.‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎
