Abstract

Abstract

China officially implemented the Antarctic deep ice core scientific drilling project within the Dome A area in January 2012， and the drilling depth has reached 803.54m by 2021. It is the first deep ice core drilling project initiated by China， and also the first one of the world in the Dome A area. This paper introduces the implementation process of the deep ice core scientific drilling project at Kunlun Station， and summarizes the drilling activities and experience gained in the past 10 years， so as to provide theoretical and empirical guidance for subsequent drilling.
