I thought you might be interested in this.
Fascinating. Thanks.
Very interesting.
But I thought the ice was melting, not building uo.

Kinda weird that their reporting a possible THREE supernova within the course of 54 years in ice measuring thousands of years.
The other two could be from gamma ray bursters. Most of these are detected outside of our galaxy but if one, say, 50000 light years away had been pointed our way it would not have been powerful enough to hurt life. It still would make a detectable change.

Two Catastrophe ScenariosAbout 2.2 million years ago, a chunk of space debris about a kilometer in diameter splashed down in the Bellingshausen Sea between Antarctica and South America. It was some splash! The splash zone was about 20 kilometers across, waves 4 kilometers high raced away from Ground Zero, and a column of salt water ascended miles high into the upper atmosphere. The TNT equivalent is estimated at 12 billion tons. Ice clouds formed and shaded the planet, causing severe climate changes. On the floor of the Bellingshausen Sea, 5 kilometers deep, lies the Eltanin Impact Structure.

So the Ice has been getting deeper for at least 1,000 years.
