| Abstract |
The results obtained from holes drilled by USA SIPRE (now USA CRREL), under the scientific leadership of Henri Bader, as part of the U.S. IGY glaciology program in Greenland and Antarctica, confirmed the desirability of continuous core drilling through the Greenland and antarctic ice sheets. Equipment and techniques for deep core drilling, core analysis, and drill-hole measurements were to be developed and tested in Greenland prior to their use in Antarctica. |
