ANDRILL (ANtarctic geological DRILLing) has drilled and recovered thousands of meters of rock core from beneath the McMurdo Ice Shelf in Antarctica. What secrets are hidden in this rock? Why do scientists from around the world work together to uncover these secrets that have been shrouded beneath the ice for millions of years? Join this real world geoscience adventure in Antarctica through a series of video journals.
Meet the science teams and see first-hand how drillers, microbiologists, paleontologists, and many other specialists work together to complete one of the most successful research expeditions on the Antarctic continent.
Most videos are available in English, with some in Italian and German.
