Can't believe they don't show a photo of what appears to be a 10 meter in diameter, 2.7km deep hole.

To be fair, is a photo of a hole that interesting?

I mean, there’s an entire multi-billion dollar industry dedicated to photos of holes.

Please, if the title is going to be that, at least remove the capitalization from that "m", so it represents an unity instead of "millions of something undisclosed".

Interesting: "Towards the base, the ice is more than 120,000 years old and dates back to the last interglacial period, a time when the atmospheric temperature above Greenland was 5°C warmer than today."

"so it represents an unity instead"

If you are going to be pedantic, that "an" should be an "a", no?
