ANTARCTICA’S volcanoes have helped shed new light on Earth’s ancient magnetic field – the force allowing life to thrive on the planet.
Earth’s magnetic field is considered crucial to sustaining life on our planet. This complex and dynamic force is responsible for shielding us from brutal cosmic radiation and charged particles spewed by the Sun.
