Drill hole measurements of fast ice and sub-ice platelet layer thickness, and snow depth in McMurdo Sound - November 2009

Sea ice thickness and sub-ice platelet layer thickness under sea ice was measured in regular intervals. Holes were drilled into sea ice at measurement sites about 5 km apart. The thickness was measured using measurement tapes. Snow depth on sea ice was also measured at sites.
