Description
While the AMANDA and IceCube experiments have opened a new window on the universe, their use of hot water drills has also opened unique research opportunities by providing recurrent passage to the deep South Pole ice sheet. I will overview how this "fast access" drilling has led to advances in glaciology, climatology, material science and technology development.
