Melting Arctic glaciers reveal landscapes unseen for 40,000 years
Arctic Canada glaciers have retreated to reveal landscapes, which were continuously covered with ice for over 40,000 years, as per Colorado University Boulder researchers. Radiocarbon dating was used on 48 plant samples collected from Baffin Island ice caps to determine its ice cover history. The research found that modern temperatures represented warmest century for the region in 1,15,000 years.
