Russians drill deepest ice hole on record in Antarctica
Russia set a world record by drilling to 10,032 feet at its Antarctic base, reaching an ice layer about 300,000 years old. The feat surpasses the previous 10,018 feet by Americans in Greenland in 1993. American and French scientists will test the samples for gases to study historical climate change and carbon dioxide effects.
