Our vision
The Ice Memory initiative aims to collect, save and manage ice cores from selected glaciers currently in danger of degradation or disappearance, with their yielded information for decades and centuries to come. Safeguarding these ice cores is key to provide scientific advances and knowledge, that will ultimately contribute to the well-being of humanity.
- Jeopardized by the ice melting and global warming
- Along with the valuable information they contain by sampling
- A dedicated sanctuary that will allow this raw material to be preserved in the best conditions
- To pass on this heritage of ice cores to future generations
