An international team of scientists has successfully retrieved the longest sediment core from beneath an Antarctic ice sheet. The 748-foot-long (228 m) sample of rock and mud offers a geological record spanning roughly 23 million years. Researchers hope these ancient layers will reveal how the region responded to past warming periods. This data could help improve predictions about future climate change.
