Snow drilling on the Rutor Glacier
Snow drilling on the Rutor Glacier
On June 3th 2021 our researcher Marco, Claudio and Francesco went up to the Rutor glacier in Aosta Valley to core the seasonal snow. A window of good weather allowed us to take the helicopter up to the glacier plateau and start drilling. After a few hours we reached the depth of about 4.5 meters. Back in Milan, we stored the cores in the cold cells of the EuroCold laboratory to be cut and sampled in the next months.
