Abundant evidence of the Earth's core moving has been found at Baffin Island A joint team of scientists from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and the California Institute of Technology observed evidence of high levels of helium-three in rocks on Baffin Island—potential evidence that the Earth's core is leaking. In their paper published in the journal Nature, the organization describes their observations of helium-3 and helium-4 in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. Early researchers saw helium-3 elements in lava flows on Baffin Island, suggesting a possible leak from the Earth's core. This is due to the fact that it is an old isotope - it changed conditions over time as the Earth formed and was trapped in the core. But due to its nature, helium-3 that makes its way to the ground quickly escapes into the atmosphere and disappears into space. Thus, helium-three is rare. If it is found on the surface, the percentage is high enough that it has made its way out of t
