In Antarctica, a groundbreaking experiment led by Austin Carter, a researcher from the Center for Old Ice Exploration (COLDEX), revealed a hidden world beneath the ice. By lowering an action camera into a 93-meter-deep borehole, Carter captured stunning footage of smooth, transparent ice layers, offering a rare glimpse into the region’s ancient history. The experiment took place in the Allan Hills Blue Ice Area,
known for its ancient ice, which has been preserved for millions of years.This ice is among the oldest on Earth, with some layers dating back 2.7 million years. The camera’s descent through the ice showcased layers that contained trapped air,
