Getting to the Bottom: NICL Team Processes Deepest Ice from WAIS Divide Project
Mick Sternberg had literally made the same measurement a thousand times before. But this meter-long ice core was perhaps just a little more special.
NICL Update - Evaporative Condenser Unit
On October 20, 2011 the NICL refrigeration system was officially cooled using the new backup evaporative condenser unit (ECU-2).
CH2M HILL Polar Services Wins Arctic Contract

Replicate coring is the act of deviating out of an existing borehole to collect additional ice samples from depth intervals of particular interest.
NICL Use and Ice Core Access
The U.S. National Ice Core Laboratory (NICL) houses approximately 17,000 meters of ice cores recovered from Greenland and Antarctica that are available for study.
Message from the Director - Fall 2011
2011, what a remarkable year for U.S ice coring. WAIS Divide reached a milestone at 3,331 meters depth, creating the deepest ice core ever drilled by the U.S. and the second deepest ice core ever drilled by any group.
