| Abstract |
A version of the HODGE'S steam-operated drill (Hodge, 1971) was used by the 14th Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (1972-1974) to drill holes (10 m deep, 3 cm in diameter) for measurements of snow temperatures at a 10 m depth during the oversnow traverses over Mizuho Plateau, East Antarctica (Naruse, 1975). In this paper, the design and the performance of the drill will be described. |
