Deep within the British Antarctic Survey’s laboratories, a meticulous process is underway: the melting of Earth’s oldest ice. These incredible ice cores, extracted from an astonishing 2.8 kilometers below the Antarctic surface, have just arrived, marking a significant moment for climate science. For weeks, a dedicated team has been working around the clock, knowing that the only way to analyze these ancient treasures is to carefully melt them. BBC’s Rebecca Morelle is on-site, providing an exclusive look as scientists process the very oldest samples, some dating back an astounding 1.5 million years. This ambitious project, a culmination of years of effort involving hundreds of individuals, promises to unlock invaluable insights into our planet’s environmental history, offering a million-year-long record from the frozen south.
