A glacier is a slow-moving, extended mass of ice
... For knowledge about long-term climate change, scientists look at glaciers a little more closely. Samples called ice cores are taken by drilling deep into a glacier or ice sheet. These samples contain trapped air bubbles that serve as time capsules, providing us with facts about the state of the eart ...
