Our mission for ancient climate clues beneath 500m of Antarctic ice is underway! Our drillers have arrived at our deep-field camp and the science team will fly out soon. Co-Chief Scientist Molly Patterson shares this expedition update from Scott Base. bit.ly/3KxwJgC

But I really need to vacuum before I can write.

The best time to start a new hobby is during your writing process... according to scientists who do it 😅

Happy New Year from Antarctica

IO CHE PROVO A RICORDARE QUALE SIA IL NOME DELLA PERSONA CHE MI HA APPENA DETTO COME SI CHIAMA:

Drilling at KIS3 has ended due to a technical challenge, following the successful deployment of our sea riser. We're proud of the team’s massive effort to progress this close to obtaining the deep core, & are looking ahead to our season at Crary Ice Rise 👉bit.ly/41Wu6v7

Merry Christmas to everyone except reviewer 2.

🎄Happy Holidays and Merry KIS-mas, from the SWAIS2C on-ice team at KIS3 on the Ross Ice Shelf! 🎥 Anthony Powell / Antarctica New Zealand

Jumping for joy to make it to KIS3! The last of our on-ice team have arrived. Scientists Linda Armbrecht, Arne Ulfers, Yuri Yamazaki & Luca Zurli, hot water driller Stephen Stretch, and videographer Anthony Powell are ready to put in the hard yards to retrieve the sediment core.

Things are heating up at our deep-field camp on the grounding zone of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet – hot water drilling is underway. Co-Chief Richard Levy (GNS Science and VicUniWgtn) shares our second Expedition Update, including a sneak peek of our borehole.

How to get academics all hot and bothered 😂

First outdoor night: ✅

❄️It’s snowing at KIS3 today! We’re lucky to have several heated spaces on site to warm up if needed.  🎥 Ana Tovey/ SWAIS2C

We’re on an ambitious mission for sediment core, but even getting to our site is a mission! Our drilling camp is incredibly remote – KIS3 is 860km from the nearest base. Getting there requires some serious logistics, specialised polar transport, and of course – a weather window.

Update from the ice! Our two Co-Chief Scientists, and half of the science team, are at Scott Base, prepped and ready to deploy to our deep-field camp 860km away at KIS3. Co-Chief @vandeflierdt (@ESEImperial, @imperialcollege) shares our first Expedition Update.

Ever wondered what it’s like to fly to Antarctica? Come aboard the SWAIS2C science team’s ice flight on a US C-17 from Christchurch! It might not come with reclining seats, but the views are spectacular! 🎥Ana Tovey/SWAIS2C
