Abstract

More than 170 years ago, Louis Agassiz, one of the creators of glacial theory, made his first attempt to drill into the bed of Unteraargletscher, Swiss Alps. Since that time, various systems for mechanical drilling have been especially designed for boring into ice, and some conventional drill rigs have been adopted for ice coring.
