You Wouldn't Believe What Scientists Found Frozen in Glaciers and Lakes

Due to that, there are million-year-old tectonic plates trapped in time from the Ice Age that occurred 2.6 million years ago. The majority of them are frozen thousands of miles down beneath the crust of the Earth, but with infrared-technology, we can view the bottoms of these plates with ease.
