As global warming melts glaciers, a novel sanctuary in Antarctica is opening to preserve ice samples
  • Scientists have inaugurated the first global repository of mountain ice cores in an Antarctic vault, aiming to preserve valuable ice samples as global warming accelerates the melting of glaciers. This innovative sanctuary is designed to safeguard these samples for future research and analysis.
  • The establishment of this repository is significant as it provides a critical resource for understanding climate change and its impacts, enabling scientists to study historical climate data and potentially inform future environmental policies and conservation efforts.
