Salsa Antarctica

Follow us down the SALSA borehole as we go 3500 ft through the Antarctic Ice Sheet into Mercer Subglacial Lake. The UV collar at the top of the borehole irradiates sources of contamination. Once at the lake, we see the transition between the water and the bottom of the ice sheet.

Shoveling snow into the melt tank was a daily occurrence at camp. The melted snow was used as the drilling fluid in our hot water drill that bored through 3,500 feet of ice to access Mercer Subglacial Lake. Photo by Billy Collins, SALSA Education and Outreach. #antarctica
