Deep within the ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica lie detailed records of Earth’s past climate. Expedition Leader Marlo Shaw explains how scientists drill and analyze ice cores to uncover ancient atmospheres, temperature shifts and volcanic events. Learn how these frozen archives reveal regular cycles of warming and cooling—and why today’s rising global temperatures stand out in the record. Marlo also connects these findings to real-world impacts in polar ecosystems, from polar bears and shrinking sea ice to humpback whales and our rapidly warming oceans.
