The energy intensity of fusion ice drilling is many times higher than that of mechanical destruction. A significant advantage of the fusion ice drilling method is the simplicity of design and reliability of thermoelectric drilling shells on a load-carrying cable, so they have been widely used in the domestic practice of studying glaciers and ice sheets with the help of deep boreholes and allowed to achieve record results.
In recent years, there have been opportunities to study the internal structure of glacial covers by methods of isotopic and geochemical glaciology as a result of the introduction of new technical means and methods of deep drilling with core sampling into research.
К настоящему времени накопился богатый материал о свойствах и вещественном составе пресного льда, который получен при проведении гляциологических, геофизических, геохимических и микробиологических исследований ледового керна Арктики и Антарктики ...
