A historic ice vault has been inaugurated in Antarctica, creating the world’s first long-term ice core library designed to preserve samples from glaciers that are rapidly melting due to climate change. Scientists say the vault will store ice cores collected from around the world, allowing future researchers to study Earth’s climate. The project is being described as a global scientific archive aimed at protecting vital climate data for generations to come.
