Ice drilling on Princess Elizabeth Land (East Antarctica) aimed to study bedrock and Late Quaternary paleoclimate

Targeted bedrock sampling was carried out on Princess Elizabeth Land (30 km south of the coast, at 69.585591° S; 76.385165° E) by drilling through 545 m thick ice. The borehole was drilled using a new, modified version of the cable-suspended Ice and Bedrock Electromechanical Drill (IBED) designed by...

Other Authors: Authors would like to thank the Russian and Chinese Antarctic Expeditions and the management of Progress and Zongsan stations for logistical support of drilling. Drilling was carried out within the framework of the Federal Project “Geology. Legend Revival” and the state assignment of the “Rosnedra” Agency. Radar measurements were carried out under the State Assignment No FMGE-2019-0004 of the Institute of Geography of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The study of snow and firn strata and sampling for geochemical studies was carried out by M. A. Vorobyev, among others, under Agreement No. 075-15-2021-599 dated 08. 06. 2021, Авторы благодарят Российскую и Китайскую антарктические экспедиции, а также руководство станций Прогресс и Зонгсан за логистическое обеспечение бурения. Бурение выполнялось в рамках Федерального проекта «Геология. Возрождение легенды» и государственного задания Агентства «Роснедра». Радиолокационное зондирование ледника проводилось в рамках Государственного задания Института географии РАН No FMGE-2019- 0004. Изучение снежно-фирновой толщи и отбор образцов для геохимических исследований проводились М. А. Воробьёвым в том числе в рамках Соглашения № 075-15-2021-599 от 08. 06. 2021
