...under its rubble-strewn surface lurks a glacier of venerable age. Marchant believes this glacier has been frozen in place for millions of years--and if he's right, the ice in the glacier holds invaluable clues to an earlier epoch of global warming, one that offers a provocative parallel to the warming expected later in this century...

For the RSC, it represents a much-needed opportunity to attract new audiences. The new artistic...
