The world’s oldest ice -- believed to be 1.5 million years old -- will be dug up by scientists in East Antarctica to help them predict climate change in the future.

Scientists are digging up the world’s oldest ice in Antarctica, which is believed to be 1.5 million years old, to help them predict future climate change.

Researchers from 14 European scientific institutions will analyze the ice to get a snapshot of the world and its atmosphere over 1.5 million years ago -- including the levels of carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases. In that case, scientists from 10 European nations drilled into the base of Antarctica and took out a 3,000-long ice core.
