Abstract

An 80.12-m-long ice core was retrieved from the accumulation area (5862 m above sea level (a.s.l.)) of Trambau Glacier in the Rolwalig region during October–November 2019. The drilling site is located at a high elevation area and is in a restricted flying area, normally making it difficult to operate a helicopter. However, we could transport the ice core and drilling equipment by helicopters with permission from the government of Nepal. Dry ice imported from India was included in the insulation boxes with ice cores, and the ice cores were successfully transported to a cold laboratory in ILTS without melting. The primary analysis showed that 88% of the ice core was refrozen with a density of > 830 kg m–3. 資源タイプ：　bulletin (article)
