Hole in ice shelf freezes shut at Ross Ice Shelf

An experimental hole drilled through the quarter mile thick Ross Ice Shelf has frozen shut delaying planned study of the hidden sea beneath. John Clough of the University of Nebraska led the NSF sponsored effort to access the water and potential life, but cooling measures failed and a two week delay is likely. The crew hopes to re drill and keep the opening open during the short Antarctic summer.
