Abstract

This contribution explains the characteristics of a newly developed ice drill which is particularly geared to the needs of glaciologists. It is primarily designed for drilling holes for ablation stakes and for measuring water levels or temperatures in firn areas. Its distinguishing features are its leight weight, and the variety of tasks to which it can be adjusted. Furthermore, it is easy to operate even by one person
