Scientists have obtained the longest ice core ever from the Mount Everest, measuring 142 metres, along with two other samples to aid in the study of climate change and provide new insight into global warming.

This means that 600 feet of ice have accumulated since the last time it was warm. Hm.
Close to 600 feet of ice. An interesting sample. It’s important to see how it’s handled because the layers of ice may have been laid down in many ways. This sample may or may not be comparable to other glacial samples because weather varies so much across the planet and across years. One hopes that actual scientists, interested in their study but objective also, will teach us much from this.
