Scientists launched the Ice Memory Sanctuary in Antarctica to preserve ancient ice cores from melting glaciers for future climate research.
Scientists have opened the Ice Memory Sanctuary in Antarctica, a global vault at Concordia Station preserving ice cores from melting glaciers.
The first samples, drilled from Mont Blanc and Grand Combin in the Alps, are stored at -52°C in a snow cave, safeguarding atmospheric data from past climates.
The project, led by a European consortium since 2015, aims to archive cores from 10 global sites before they vanish due to climate change, with glaciers losing 2% to 39% of their ice regionally since 2000.
The sanctuary ensures long-term access for future research using technologies not yet developed.
