Australia will explore the 2,000-year-old ice sheet
Australia has announced a project to explore an ice sheet dating back to 2,000 Antarctica in an attempt to answer questions about how much ice has melted on Earth and how much remains.
The Aurora Basin North Project, with scientists from Australia, France, Denmark and the United States, is expected to advance scientific advances, thereby providing solutions to climate change. Last time.
Australian Environment Minister Tony Burke said the project is important because it helps people understand the process of climate change, thereby helping people to deal with this process.
According to Tony Burke, the project will begin when a group of French scientists arrive at the location in December next year.
The project will last for eight weeks, about 400 meters deep and about 600 kilometers east of Australia's Casey station in Antarctica.
Mr. Burke said: "Understanding the ice in a new area higher than the mainland will help us better understand the life in Antarctica. At that time, we will have information about the place here. 2,000 years, where we never had access to it. "
