The oldest continuous ice core in Antartica is about 800 thousand years, from the EPICA Dome C core (See: https://cp.copernicus.org/articles/3/485/2007/cp-3-485-2007.pdf).
This market resolves to YES if before Dec. 31, 2028, a journal article presents a continuous million-year or longer record of Antarctic Ice. A pre-print would be sufficient for resolution (provided it seems reputable).
