This video includes a borehole video and provides an overview of the Replicate Ice Coring System developed by Ice Drilling Design and Operations (IDDO) for the U.S. National Science Foundation. The Replicate Ice Coring System leverages the existing infrastructure of the Deep Ice Sheet Coring (DISC) drill to create a steerable drill capable of recovering replicate core at any targeted depth in an existing bore hole. The system was successfully deployed at WAIS Divide Antarctica in the 2012-2013 field season recovering 289m of core from 5 deviations at 4 target depths. 10 minutes, color.
