Scientists crush ice cores to predict Antarctica's next big ice crack

In Antarctica, two giant rifts, known as Chasm 1 and Halloween Crack, split across the Brunt Ice Shelf. The implications of the cracks are huge as ice shelves hold back huge volumes of landlocked wate...

Hole drilled into Greenland's heart reveals ice ready to slide into the sea

Unique drilling project has ominous implications for sea-level rise

And that's the season over. Halley has such a special place in my heart. It's so rare a glaciologist gets to be part of station life the way you do at Halley. A proper little family for three months. ❄️ Nowhere else quite like it! @bas.ac.uk

No better way to end the season than getting to play around in a dozer for the morning pushing snow! 🚜

A little bit of Sunday ice climbing in Antarctica in the sunniest wind scoop! 🧗🏼‍♀️

A beautiful blue sky day digging a big hole, visited by a Skua. Some last minute equipment servicing before the season ends

5 weeks later; 4 bore holes 1.5 tonnes of ice cores 64 seismometers 2 km of fibre optic 200 km of radar 11 GPS sites And lots of games of bridge... It's time to go home 😴

Picking up the seismometers after they've been deployed for 5 weeks, and this one had some little footprints from a curious Skua! I wonder if I'll see any pecking in the data 🐦

Every evening we sit and wait for a satellite call from Rothera to check our field team of four is all ok. This evening's call was accompanied by a slowly lowering sun on the horizon. The summer season slowly drawing to a close 🌅

Bang, bop, boop, bash, snow goes mush, do it again. The glamour of geophysics 🔨

A quick visit from Ollie and his twin otter and that's all our ice cores picked up and on their way to Halley!! Now just to let the seismometers do their thing for a few more days, and then home time!!

Four holes and four weeks later, and we are done drilling 😴

Warm, wet and windy! ft. My knitted hood I made a few seasons ago! 🧶

Bit of a blowy one today, so I think we'll stay inside 🌬️

A little visit today from a big red bird to take some of our ice cores away to Rothera!

Today we recovered a mega 2.4 m long core! Annoyingly we can't take it home this long as our ice core boxes are only 90 cm. So she had to get cut up 🪚!
