Drilling for ancient ice | The Royal Society

Join Professor Eric Wolff on his field trip to the snowy wonderland of Antarctica. In this short film we follow Professor Wolff and his team as they drill 650 metres into the West Antarctic ice sheet, unlocking the secret of Earth's past climate, and allowing us a glimpse at the future.

Eventually, how will you know you are not drilling your ice core at the same spot as where another has been drilled before?

I'm a core driller and you'll know because of surveys that tell you're azimuth and dip some do latitude and longitude my boss was drilling in Antarctica in december

All the climate change was foretold in the Bible. Luke 21:25 there will be strange signs in the moon and the stars. And here on earth the nations will be in turmoil, perplexed by the roaring seas and strange tides.
