JPL Antarctic Ice Borehole Probe
Drill Site #3
01/10/01 - 01/14/01

Welcome to one of the data pages of the JPL Antarctic Ice Borehole Probe. Here you will find pictures, videos, & documentation from part of the 2000-01 Antarctic field season where the probe was sent down to a depth of 1064 meters at Drill Site #3. The images shown are from the probe's side (side images are upside down) and down looking camera.
