法国探险家开始在南极洲四千公里长的风筝和天空中航行 寻找130 000年之久的冰 研究过去的气候变化 French explorers start 4,000-km kite-ski trek across Antarctica to find 130,000-year-old ice and study past climate change.

法国探险家Matthieu Tordeur和Heidi Sevestre已开始在南极洲进行为期三个月、为期4 000公里的风筝-斯基探险,以寻找130 000年前的冰层。 French explorers Matthieu Tordeur and Heidi Sevestre have begun a three-month, 4,000-kilometer kite-ski expedition across Antarctica to locate ice up to 130,000 years old. 他们的任务与COP30气候会议同时进行,目的是研究古代冰层,以确定西南极洲的冰盖是否在过去全球气温约高三摄氏度的温暖时期坍塌。 Their mission, timed to coincide with the COP30 climate conference, aims to study ancient ice layers to determine if West Antarctica’s ice sheet collapsed during a past warm period when global temperatures were about three degrees Celsius higher. 这些数据可以帮助改进海平面上升预测,因为西南极洲拥有足够的冰,可以将海洋升高6米。 The data could help refine sea-level rise projections, as West Antarctica holds enough ice to raise oceans by up to six meters. 教科文组织支持的考察突出表明,迫切需要减少化石燃料的使用,以防止不可逆转的气候影响。 The UNESCO-backed expedition highlights the urgency of reducing fossil fuel use to prevent irreversible climate impacts.
