Summary:
- Researchers have discovered an ancient forest hidden beneath the surface of a treeless island in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, providing a glimpse into the region's past climate.
- The forest, which is estimated to be around 1,000 years old, was found on Ellesmere Island, one of the northernmost islands in Canada, where the current climate is too harsh to support tree growth.
- The discovery suggests that the climate in the region was significantly warmer in the past, and the findings could help scientists better understand the long-term changes in the Arctic's climate and ecosystems.
