Where we drill in Antarctica there are no ruptures in the ice. We drill in area’s were the ice is very still purposely so the past record of time is in chronological order. The firn, snow that is more than a year old, that we drill compacts over time making it denser but it does not flow horizontally.

One of my modules is Quaternary Environmental, I’m discovering how to analysis the finding of ice core in which provides interglacier and glacier time, so if you have any other information I’d love to hear from you.

Good look with your finding it looks great.

Trent Tue, 25 Oct 2011 23:41:05 +0000 http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/blogs/fromthefield/?p=2885#comment-18793 I would like to use the image of Michelle Koutnik preparing a core of Antarctic ice (taken by Lora Koenig/NASA) that appears in Notes from the Field, “The Road to Antarctica Begins in Kansas.” I wish to use this in the next edition of my college textbook, Geology and the Environment.

Please advise about permission procedure.
