here's a great thread from @Scripps_Ocean on the search for the oldest ice, including this video by PhD student Jacob Morgan of ice core drilling in action in Allan Hills, Antarctica last week. #oldestice #fieldwork @sciencejenna @blueicehiggins https://twitter.com/Scripps_Ocean/status/1199441338577518592

Severinghaus describes the recent discovery of 2.7 million year old ice to @mckelmer for @Scripps_Ocean: "That core...was all broken up. It’s like in archaeology when you find pieces of broken pottery you’re trying to put back together." https://scripps.ucsd.edu/news/scripps-scientists-friendly-race-among-nations-find-worlds-oldest-ice-record-time
