# Introduction In a desolate future where glaciers cover the majority of the Earth's surface, humanity has survived in isolated pockets of civilization. Amidst this icy expanse, intrepid explorers brave the cold to uncover the secrets locked within the frozen landscapes. One such explorer, Dr. Ava Frost, has set out on a mission to compile a comprehensive dataset from various climate sensors spread across the glaciers. Dr. Frost must process large amounts of data efficiently to predict future climate trends and possibly find a way to reverse the expanding ice age. The key to her success lies in the mastery of Linux tools, specifically the `paste` command, to merge lines of files effectively. By mastering this skill, she aims to create a powerful interconnected dataset that will help her in her research. This lab provides an immersive learning experience to help you, as Dr. Frost's apprentice, become proficient in merging lines of text using the powerful `paste` command in Linux.
