An international research team has successfully drilled and retrieved a 9,186-foot-long (2,800-meter-long) ice core from Antarctica that dates back 1.2 million years.
Massive ice core is a ‘time machine’ that could help solve an ancient climate mystery, scientists say | CNN
Hey, I've seen this one.
A prehistoric virus is gonna infect someone with coldness until a plucky US-Marshall-turned-sherrif saves the day with his science-mined friends and colleagues.
Starring Kroger Sunderland and directed by Uwe (don’t call me Yuwee) Boll.
the end of man may very well be embedded in one of those 2800 one-meter long popsicles.
The bell end.
Wut?

Edit: yeah, they cut it into 1 meter lengths as it comes out. so this will be 280 pieces.
Each meter of ice can contain as many as 13,000 years of climate data, said Julien Westhoff, chief scientist
