Today the drilling reached a depth of 2200 m. The processing has almost reached the drilling, but stays a couple of days behind to allow the ice cores to rest to let the drilling fluid evaporate. A beatiful halo could be admired over the drilling tent. 📸Federico Scoto PNRA/IPEV

Today the drilling passed a depth of 2390 m, the processing arrived at 2343 m. Water stable isotope measurement continues with the laser spectrometer, providing a preliminary age scale of the Beyond EPICA ice core. In the photo: structure of the surface snow 📸G. Lawer©PNRA/IPEV

Reaching 2400 meters is a good reason to celebrate together with a cake and a bottle of sparkling wine! 📸F. Scoto ©PNRA/IPEV

The drilling passed the depth of 2500 m today: Lison, Federico and Matthias are very happy! Big news is coming! 📸F. Scoto©PNRA/IPEV

We want to say a big thank you to the Concordia Station personnel who have been helping Beyond EPICA in numerous ways: from unloading and storing the ice core boxes (photos), to supplying food+water and providing technical support to our team at LDC. 📸R. Scipinotti©PNRA/IPEV

For all these years, it was just a name, a hope, a dream. Now the water stable isotope measurements confirmed that we have officially surpassed EPICA Dome C as the oldest continuous ice core record! We are truly Beyond EPICA! Merry Christmas to everyone! 📸F. Scoto©PNRA/IPEV

The new year started with a beautiful halo. The Beyond EPICA team wishes you a happy 2025! 📸F. Scoto©PNRA/IPEV

The drilling passed the depth of 2747 m and the processing is now only a few meters behind. Ice core boxes are being transferred to Mario Zucchelli Station. On January 2nd, the Australian MYIC team visited our camp and had some coffee and a cake (photo). 📸J. Westhoff©PNRA/IPEV

The Beyond EPICA ice core drilling has finally reached the bedrock at a depth of 2800 m: this is a huge success for our project and for ice core science! We have strong indications that 1.2 million years of climate record are stored in the uppermost 2480 m of ice. 📸©PNRA/IPEV

Oggi possiamo festeggiare un’altra impresa straordinaria della ricerca scientifica. Con il progetto 'Beyond Epica - Oldest Ice' è stato raggiunto per la prima volta il ghiaccio più antico mai visto dell’Antartide e che risale a 1,2 milioni di anni fa. È una missione di

Here is what our friends from Million Year Ice Core sent us "Congratulations Beyond EPICA on your amazing and inspiring success. MYIC toasts you from our newly installed drill ops cabin. 🎉"

The surface snow program was carried out with a transect from LDC to Concordia and with a 50-m long and 2.5-m deep trench at LDC to investigate the spatial variability of the isotopic signal. The team had their last dinner together. Now the camp is closed. 📸J. Westhoff©PNRA/IPEV

The official Beyond EPICA comic book, BEYOND EPICA and BEYOND, is out now, coinciding with the Beyond EPICA Science Meeting, which starts today at Palazzo Franchetti in Venice, Italy! © Eccher/Ponchione comicsandscience.it

Visit the official website beyondepica.eu to follow the journey of the Beyond EPICA cores live from Antarctica to Europe aboard the OGS ship Laura Bassi!

The Beyond EPICA ice cores have finally arrived in Trieste, Italy, aboard the Laura Bassi icebreaker, after a long and challenging voyage from Antarctica. They will now continue their journey to the Alfred Wegener Institute in Bremerhaven, Germany

The Beyond EPICA ice cores have just arrived in Bremerhaven, Germany, where they will be processed in the cold room at the Alfred Wegener Institute. Following this, they will be sent to various laboratories for detailed analyses.

Our comic book, Beyond EPICA and Beyond, is featured at the Turin International Book Fair! You can see the cartoonist Sergio Ponchione at the Comics&Science stand, signing copies of the comic book for fans! After 2 seasons in the field, you can also find Federico Scoto around!
