Summary

Beneath the harsh winds and temperature of Antarctica, scientists have identified ice cores that give new insights into Earth’s past. Martin Froger Silva works with the National Science Foundation Center for Oldest Ice Exploration. He and a team of researchers have been drilling in Antarctica for ice millions of years old. Silva talked to Climate Cast host Paul Huttner about their research.
