[Episode 9: Ice Memory Svalbard Expedition Diary]: The drilling has started! We have all 8 people out in the field, camping under tents, with ovens, food and 2 tons of equipment, plus 600 kg of drill equipment. On Monday, we will shift the team staying in the drilling site and bring them supplies. Andrea Spolaor, expedition coordinator Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche Institute of Polar Sciences explains why we choose this location to drill: « This site was selected because it is one of the highest in Svalbard and in 2005 a previous drilling was done there without detecting water, which means the glacier wasn’t so affected by climate change at that time. We want now to confirm the health of this specific site, 18 years later to be able to recover an ice core for our sanctuary in Antarctica. Today it is -24°C but sun is out so after the storm it hit up our souls » Fingers crossed we can extract an ice core on Holtedahlfonna glacier, Svalbard for future generations before it is too late!
