USGS: "Spring may be here, but a chilly 1,529-foot cylinder of ice (cut into meter long pieces) will make its way to Denver to be analyzed and provide clues to the last 100,000 years of earth's climate history. This is a section of what is hoped to be an 11,300-foot column of ice, just over two-miles long. Geoff Hargreaves and Brian Bencivengo, two U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) scientists ... spent over two months helping to obtain the core in Antarctica...The NICL is run by the USGS with funding from the National Science Foundation."
