What happens when you throw a piece of ice into a 90-meter hole in Antarctica
Peter Neff is a glaciologist who drills in Antarctica to study ice melting. The other day he published a video that is interesting to both watch and listen to. The researcher threw a piece of ice into a hole 90 meters deep and filmed what was happening on camera.
Our team was impressed by the sound of the ice floe breaking into thousands of pieces and falling to the very bottom of the 90-meter well. These reverberations coming to the surface could probably even impair hearing if you put your ear directly to the hole in the glacier. After two months of hard work in the cold and wind, throwing ice into wells became one of the most enjoyable pastimes.
