Antarctic ice core research. Researcher holding a thin slice of ice from an ice core extracted from Antarctica. The core contains trapped air bubbles that can reveal information on the atmosphere and temperatures of the past, and can be used as part of research into climate change. Photographed in the cold room of British Antarctic Survey (BAS) HQ, Cambridge, UK.
