Between the ice and sheltered from the darkness of the long polar nights, we entered the Arctic by the hand of the Bilbao researcher Naima El Bani Altuna. For several months he has had in the laboratory icy seas, where he has obtained samples of years ago, excellent witnesses of the climate of the past.

He has put on the table the work of theorists so that without them science will not go blind. Dive into the magazine and find your light.
