Driling down into a glacier, they extracted mile-long cylinder ct ice from the hole. The glacier had formed as layer upon layer of snow accumulated year after year. Thus drilling into tha ice was tantamount to drilling back through time, ‘The deepest sections of the core are composed of water that fell as snow 180,000 years ago. Scientists in Grenoble, France. fractured portions of the core and measured the composition of ancient air released from bubbles in the ice. Instruments were used to measure the ratio of certain isotopes in the frozen water to get an idea of the prevailing atmospheric temperatura at the tine when that particular bit of water became locked in the glacier. ne resull is @ remarkable unbroken record of temperature and of atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide. Almost every time the hil of an ice age descended on the planet, carbon dioxide levels dropped.
