Oldest ice shown, could hold climate clues - World Environment - MSNBC.com: "A million-year-old ice sample drilled from nearly two miles under the Antarctic and unveiled in Tokyo on Tuesday could yield vital clues on climate change, Japanese scientists said."
Now that is some old ice.
From the article, 'Research based on a previous study of Antarctic ice and published by Nature magazine last year said concentrations of carbon dioxide and methane were far higher now than at any time in the last 650,000 years.'
It will be interesting to see what the million year old ice has to say to us.
