What is the News?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Arctic scientists are set to start drilling to save samples of ancient ice for analysis before the frozen layers melt away due to climate change.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the project Arctic scientists are planning to launch?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Italian, French and Norwegian researchers have set up camp in Norway’s Svalbard archipelago to preserve crucial ice records for analyzing past environmental conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

They will extract ice in a series of tubes from as far as 125 meters below the surface, containing frozen geochemical traces dating back three centuries.<\/span><\/p>\n

One set of ice tubes will be used for immediate analysis while a second set will be sent to Antarctica for storage in an “ice memory sanctuary” under the snow. Here the samples will be preserved for future generations of scientists.<\/span><\/p>\n

About the melting of Arctic Ice<\/b><\/h2>\n

Human-caused carbon emissions have warmed the planet by 1.1 degrees Celsius since the 19th century.<\/span><\/p>\n

Studies indicate that the Arctic is warming between two and four times faster than the global average.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Arctic amplification phenomenon is responsible for warming the Arctic region much faster than the rest of the planet.<\/span><\/p>\n
