    A lot of the work in Antarctica are microbiology and weather related. My colleagues while I was in NZ regularly brought back soil and ice core samples to “mine” for unknown microbes.

      Global temperature record (section Ice cores (from 800,000 years before present))

      This is amazing, if not the Americans, then maybe others will push the research forward.
