Blue Ice Drill

New to the IDDO drill inventory is the Blue Ice Drill, an agile drill capable of retrieving cores of approximately 9 ½ inch diameter to depths up to 15 meters in solid ice. The drill, which was developed for the University of California at San Diego, is transportable by light aircraft or helicopter.

In this video, the Blue Ice Drill is being used at Taylor Glacier, Antarctica by Tanner Kuhl and Robb Kulin.
