87% Informative
Researchers found the viruses in an 1,000-foot-long ice core extracted from the Guliya Glacier on the Tibetan Plateau , located at the intersection of Central, South and East Asia .
The viruses date back as far as 41,000 years and have survived three major shifts from cold to warm climates.
They are important because they offer a window into Earth 's deep climactic history, and could help us understand what future microbial communities could look like.
