EU/UK Epica project to determine Antarctica age by drilling

Scientists have returned to East Antarctica this month to locate the oldest ice on Earth. The team is part of an EU-funded research consortium from 10 European countries whose aim is to drill an ice core to capture 1.5 million years of Earth’s climate history. The project, Beyond EPICA – Oldest Ice, will answer important questions about big shifts in the past record of Earth’s climate.
