RESULTS AND CHARACTERISTICS OF 5G HOLE DRILLING AND THE FIRST TAPPING OF LAKE VOSTOK

We present here a brief description of the drilling operations in the deep 5G hole at the Russian Vostok Station with more detailed account of the final stage of this long-term project successfully ended on February 5, 2012 with the first Lake Vostok unsealing. Relevant information on the borehole d...
