The ice core is ready for logging. After that electrical measurements
will be performed on the core, and samples will be taken for isotopic measurements.
The remaining core is then packed and sent home for later analyses. |

Bailer with cutter. This tool was used to break slush bridges and
move almost 1.4 tons of glycol slush from 2.9 km to surface. |

Drilling of a 20m shallow core for dust studies. |
|
A special saw was constructed for cutting the 8 cm high and 15 m long
pit samples. These samples will be used to determine the provenance of the
very small amounts of dust found in the ice at NGRIP. |
