Instruments and Methods: An Effective Pressure Room Seal in Ice

Abstract Several methods were tried to seal a room in ice which could be pressurized to the overburden pressure of the ice. We found that a keyed bulkhead consisting of two ice walls with an in-place frozen mixture of water, clay and styrofoam pellets between them produced an effective seal.
