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.

#MYIC team has a close collaboration with the #BeyondEPICA #OldestIce team which has been working at Little Dome C since 2019. Acquiring multiple ice core records extending beyond 1M years will allow for joint replication and verification.

“Collaborative modelling and radar work indicate that we’re well placed to build on and extend the European results, with an ice core that is older and more highly resolved.”

Big news at the Danish #Greenland ice sheet seminar is actually from #Antarctica, Dorthe Dahl-Jensen of Copenhagen University Niels Bohr Institute announcing bedrock reached at #OldestIce site #BeyondEpica @[email protected] At least 1.2 million year old ice! Extraordinary. #DGrIS25

At least 1.2 million year old ice!
Extraordinary. #DGrIS25

Does #Europe know just how awesome the #BeyondEPICA project is?
Drilling an *ancient* #iceCore in a very remote and very cold part of #Antarctica...
Good overview talk here at #ESSI
