| Summary | Believe it or not, ice isn't always just frozen water. In fact, most of the ice covering our planet contains thousands of years' worth of information about our atmosphere. This ice is made up of more than snow-it contains soot, volcanic ash, gases, and other substances that affect the climate. And if we drill a piece of that ice? We get a frozen time capsule courtesy of Earth. In this exhilarating middle-grade non-fiction book by a former educator, kids are immersed in the field of paleoclimatology. Readers go along on an ice core expedition, run through each step in the collecting and transporting process, review the fascinating components of an ice core, and explore the specialized labs where scientists examine them. |
