Core Viewpoint - The establishment of the world's first mountain ice core preservation base in Antarctica aims to protect climate information from glaciers that are disappearing due to global warming [1][3]. Group 1: Ice Core Project - The "Ice Memory" project, initiated by research institutions from Italy, France, and Switzerland, focuses on creating a dedicated archive for ice cores to preserve climate data [3]. - The first ice core samples were taken from glaciers in Mont Blanc, France, and the Grand Combin region in Switzerland, and were transported to Antarctica for preservation [3][4]. - The ice cores are stored in a specially constructed underground ice chamber at the Concordia research station, which maintains a stable temperature of -52 degrees Celsius [3]. Group 2: Future Plans and Urgency - Over the next few years, dozens of ice cores from various locations, including the Andes and Kilimanjaro, are expected to be added to the "Ice Memory" archive [4]. - The urgency of the project is emphasized by the need to rescue remaining glaciers before they disappear permanently [4].
