Drilling on Mont Logan

A 327 m long ice core drilled in ~1 m increments was collected at 5,334 m above sea level over the course of 12 days on Mont logan summit plateau with challenging weather conditions. Ski-in ski-out with helicopter assistance for the drill and the cores.

Drilling In Antarctica

One contract took us to Antarctica where we were able to successfully drill to 210 meters while another client, using the same drill in a nearby camp, was able to reach 150 meters. 2 years later we drilled to 260m with drilling fluid and very good core quality.

Drilling Near Mount Logan

Icefield Instruments teamed up with the University of Calgary for a training expedition on the Kaskawulsh Glacier. Using their recently purchased Ice drill, we were able to drill two holes.

Ice reamers testing

Icefield instruments designed and manufactured an ice borehole reaming kit compatible with the 102mm Eclipse ice drill. This system was tested in Antarctica and produced a 260mm hole.
