With the electric drill on, the whole process of taking short ice cores has become a pleasure, and I am not only more efficient but also inspired to make more measurements. And the aesthetics of the machining and cleverness of the design fills me with satisfaction every time I open the box! Best regards from snowy Svalbard. Dr. Jack Kohler Norwegian Polar Institute "The equipment worked perfect and we are very happy with the results. Attached are a couples pictures in Arctic." Best wishes, Antonio Instituto Mediterráneo de Estudios Avanzados (IMEDEA) "These photographs correspond to Spanish researchers extracting ice core during 2007 Arctic expedition held in honour of the International Polar Year, co-ordinated in Spain by the Ministry of Science and Education (MEC) (ATOS project). ATOS project is a Spain’s contribution to the objectives of the Polar Year, an international initiative aimed at increasing the knowledge of polar regions and the implications of climate change on a global level."
