A German-Turkish research team has completed the first scientific survey of the glacier on Mount Ararat, Turkey's highest peak, to study its potential as a record of climate and human history. Scientists mapped the shrinking ice cap to identify the best site for drilling the mountain's first ice core, hoping it will reveal thousands of years of environmental and archaeological information before melting erases it.
