Ice cores have been a key tool for the worldâs climate scientists to understand what has happened to the Earthâs climate in the past and what could happen in the future as greenhouse gas levels from fossil fuel burning continue to rise. The area around Little Dome C is about 40 kilometres away from Dome C â also known as Dome Concordia â which is the site of the longest continuous ice core record so far, going back about 800,000 years. A Europe-backed effort that has worked closely with the Australian team has already pinpointed a drill site in the same Little Dome C regio...
