Drilling Back to the Future?

Caption

This is a drill drilling for an ice core sample in Northwest Greenland. The North Greenland Eemian ice-drilling project hopes to reach ice layers just above Greenland's bedrock, where ice as much as 130,000 years old may hold clues to the impact climate change could have in the next few decades.
