👏Antarctic ice core scientists have drilled the first 100 m of ice, containing 2400 years of Earth’s most recent climate history, in their quest for ice up to two million years old. 😮In two days they’ve already drilled past the Industrial Revolution, the birth of Jesus, and the Bronze Age! 🚜🚜It’s great progress for the Australian team who, with the support of a tractor-traverse team, have set up their drilling camp at Dome C North, about 1200 km from Casey station. Over the next 4-5 drilling

The first tests of a drill designed to extract an Antarctic ice core with a one million year climate archive, are underway at the Australian Antarctic Division. The million year ice core drill, which will drill to a depth approaching 3000 metres, in temperatures as low as -55°C, is being built by Antarctic Division engineers and instrument technicians.

“She’s much more than a ship. She’s been a lifeline, she’s been a home, she’s been a symbol that really captures that whole #Antarctic spirit.” (Kim Ellis, AAD Director) Australia’s #icebreaker RSV Aurora Australis arrived at its homeport of Hobart for the final time with the Australian Antarctic Program. After more than three decades of service, the much-loved 'Orange Roughy' has returned from its last resupply expedition to sub-Antarctic Macquarie Island. Read more at www.antarctica.gov.au/new

Australia’s new Antarctic icebreaker, RSV Nuyina, is now floating, after more than 50 Olympic swimming pools of water were pumped into the docks where the ship is being built. It took two days to pump enough water from the nearby river into the dry and wet docks, raising the water level six metres and floating the 10,751 tonne ship about 30 centimetres above the dock floor.

To mark the shortest day of the year 89 expeditioners at Australia’s three research stations in Antarctica and on sub Antarctic Macquarie Island, have plunged into the icy water. Midwinter is a significant milestone for Antarctic expeditioners because it marks the turning point in a long dark winter. More info: htt
