“Intense warm climate intervals–warmer than scientists thought possible–have occurred in the Arctic over the past 2.8 million years. That result comes from the [...] longest sediment cores ever retrieved on land [...] obtained from beneath remote, ice-covered Lake El’gygytgyn in the northeastern Russian Arctic.” Quoted from the NSF press release.
