You must have heard about climate change. Recently there was a report in which it was mentioned that the weight of hundreds of elephants glacier have melted. largest glacier on earth arctic region I am the one who is constantly melting. This is the area where icy layers In it are buried thousands of years old secrets of the formation and life of our planet.
Scientists are worried that if the rate of melting of glaciers remains the same, then one day the ice will completely disappear from the Arctic region. In such a situation, scientists have started conserving ice memory. Not one or two, but scientists from many countries are engaged in this effort. Their effort is to somehow transport this ice from the Arctic to the Antarctic region, so that life can be saved.
What is ice memory
Ice memory refers to the old ice of glaciers. Scientists believe that the secret of how life originated and how life will end is hidden in this ice. France, Italy and other countries together have started the Ice Memory Project, UNESCO has also recognized it because of the continuous increase in the rate of melting of glaciers. Its purpose is to secure the old pieces of glaciers for the coming generation, so that in future more facts can be found out by analyzing the data. For this a site has also been set up in Antarctica where they are to be preserved.
Researchers started the mission
Researchers from Italy, Norway and France are on mission in the Arctic region. According to Carlo Barbante, vice president of the Ice Memory Foundation, the melting of glaciers in the Arctic is a sign of a dangerous future. These glaciers can also melt with them the secrets that are buried in this centuries old ice, that is why we try to save these pieces of ice so that they can be researched in future.
Snow being extracted from 125 meters below the ground
Scientists from Norway, Italy and France will drill glaciers and extract pieces of ice from 125 meters below. The causes of climate change can also be understood from these pieces of ice. Scientists believe that due to human activities, the temperature is increasing continuously. It is more in the Arctic region.
These pieces will be kept in -54 degree temperature
In the site built by Italy and France in the Antarctic region, these old ice pieces will be kept in -54 degree temperature. Scientists believe that in the coming time, resources and technology will be better, then these pieces of ice will be useful. It is believed that in the coming times, pieces of glaciers can also be taken from the Himalayas and Tajikistan region.
