Ice core ! ...   (10-12 years old)
    In French "ice core" means

"carrot of ice" like it was a dessert

                But it isn't!
( picture : ice cap of Greenland)
The act of extracting the sample of ice called “ice sample carroting” - the shape of a cylinder (which using a little imagination looks like large carrot) collected by drilling deep into the ice cap. Scientists analyze ice cores, because the ice is a memory of the climate and air bubbles that are trapped are memories of the composition of the atmosphere.
