❄️ Scientists Uncover 34‑Million-Year-Old Lost World Beneath Antarctic Ice
Drilling through 2 km of Antarctic ice, scientists have discovered ancient sediments and fossils revealing a temperate, forested Antarctica from 34 million years ago. This unprecedented “time capsule” sheds light on Earth’s climate transition from greenhouse to ice age and offers insights for modern climate modeling.
Sediment cores contained plant pollen, microfossils, and soil chemistry from ancient forests.
Evidence indicates warmer, rain-fed ecosystems before the Antarctic ice sheet formed.
Provides a continuous record of ecological change and ice sheet development.
Helps scientists refine climate models and understand ice sheet sensitivity to warming.
“This discovery is like opening a time capsule from a lost world, offering unparalleled insight into how life and climate co-evolved in Earth’s past.”
