After 5 years of conducting field research and analysis, experts from 22 countries around the world discovered this special ice core in the East of Antarctica. The ice core is about 1.5 million years old, almost twice the age of the oldest known ice form.

Experts Tas van Ommen of the Australian Antarctic Branch, said they used aerial radar systems to illuminate the ice and detect their thickness.

After conducting a number of business measures, experts used the information obtained from ice cores, estimating the heat from the Earth, geothermal heat, and then studying how the iceberg to Evaluate the age of the tape. Experts estimate that the newly discovered ice core is about 3 km thick.

Scientists say the newly discovered ice core could provide valuable information about past and future climate change in the world. The discovery also paved the way for similar research projects in the near future.
