Quick Glance: Scientists drill 2 miles to obtain ancient ice core
- An international team has successfully retrieved one of the oldest ice cores in Antarctica, estimated to be at least 1.2 million years old.
- Analysis of this ancient ice will provide insights into the evolution of Earth's atmosphere and climate, as well as changes in Ice Age cycles.
- Current carbon dioxide levels are reported to be 50% higher than the maximum levels recorded in the past 800,000 years.
- The Beyond EPICA project, funded by the European Union, is a significant initiative aimed at understanding climate change.

Quick Glance: A23a Iceberg: Journey Towards Warmer Waters
- The world's largest iceberg, A23a, has been drifting north for decades since breaking away from the Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf in 1986.
- After being stuck on the seabed for 14 years and trapped in ocean currents, it has now escaped, as shown by satellite images.
- Covering an area of about 4000 square kilometers, the iceberg has already undergone significant changes due to waves and weather.
- Experts anticipate A23a will head towards South Georgia, where it may encounter warmer waters and eventually melt.
