Notes

  1. [1]
    Not included in MacKinnon's 1980 catalogue.[6] Ueda & Talalay make it clear that a coring drill was used for this hole but not whether a core was retrieved.[4]
  2. [2]
    The core site was 7 km south of Mirny (66°33′S 93°1′E).[4]
  3. [3]
    The core site was 45 km south of Mirny (66°33′S 93°1′E).[4]
  4. [4]
    Ten cores.[7]
  5. [5]
    Three cores.[7]
  6. [6]
    Nine cores.[7]
  7. [7]
    Not included in MacKinnon's 1980 catalogue.[6] Three holes were drilled to a total combined depth of 101 m; the deepest was 77 m.[13]
  8. [8]
    Four cores.[7]
  9. [9]
    A 10 m core was drilled every 100 km between 69°0′S 39°35′E and 90°00′S.[19]
  10. [10]
    Ueda and Talalay (2007) mention two test holes of 35 m each, but do not say whether cores were retrieved, though the drill was able to recover cores.[13]
  11. [11]
    Hole 1 was drilled to 952 m between 1969 and 1972. An offset hole, 1-bis, was started at 30 m down hole 1 in 1972, and reached 780 m the following year. Another offset hole, 1-2bis, was begun at 307 m in hole 1-bis, and reached 905 m.[25]
  12. [12]
    Drilled along the traverse from Mirny to Vostok.[26]
  13. [13]
    The hole was drilled in 1971 to 108 m, and then extended to 224 m in between 1974 and 1976. An offset hole, 2-bis, was begun in 1976, but the drill got stuck after only a few runs; the additional depth drilled was not recorded and Vasiliev does not report whether any cores were recovered.[27]
  14. [14]
    Three cores drilled along the traverse.[12]
  15. [15]
    Five cores drilled along the traverse.[12]
  16. [16]
    Thirty-seven cores.[7]
  17. [17]
    About sixteen cores.[7]
  18. [18]
    The drill stuck at 142 m, and the hole was re-entered at 107 m in an attempt to detach the stuck drill, eventually reaching 145 m on this attempt.[19]

    MacKinnon's 1980 catalogue includes a 1974-1975 Novolazarevskaya core at 70°46′S 11°50′E which is not mentioned in other sources, but it does not include this 374 m core, so the two seem to be the same despite the slight differences in coordinates and depth.[31][32]
  20. [20]
    Bentley & Koci give the depth of this hole as 412 m.[31]
  21. [21]
    Eight cores.[18]
  22. [22]
    Begun in 1976, this hole reached 721 m during the 1978-1979 drilling season. A new offset hole was accidentally started at 500 m while reaming, and the new hole reached 750 m.[38]
  23. [23]
    MacKinnon's 1980 catalogue gives the altitude as c. 500 m.[6]
  24. [24]
    MacKinnon (1980) lists two cores in the 1977/1978 season, at c. 64°20′S 57°30′W and c. 1628 m altitude,[18] but Aristarain (1981), the paper that describes these cores, only lists one core, from December 1977, as given here.[40]
  25. [25]
    Eight cores.[18]
  26. [26]
    Gillet et al. give a depth of 140 meters for this core, but it appears they are only referring to the depth attained with the first drill used.[43]
  27. [27]
    Hole 3G was extended by offset holes twice; the extensions, labelled 3G-1 and 3G-2, are treated here as part of a single core. Hole 3G-1 was begun at 1500 m, after 3G reached 1580 m depth; and hole 3G-2 was begun at 1969 m, after 3G-1 had reached 2083 m depth.[45]
  28. [28]
    Coordinates estimated from map in Thwaites et al. (1984).[46]
  29. [29]
    Hole 4G reached 279 m in 1983. In 1984 an offset hole, 4G-1, was begun at 120 m, and extended to 752 m by 1986. A second offset hole, 4G-2, was begun at 159 m in 4G-1, and reached 2546 m in 1989.[48]

    Thompson et al. list six cores obtained on the Dyer Plateau but do not give exact locations or altitudes. They give the plateau's coordinates as 70°40′16″S 64°52′30″W, with altitude 2002 m, and then say that in 1988–1989 "two ice cores were drilled to a depth of 108 m at a location 6 km west of the divide. In 1989–90, two cores were recovered 1 m apart on the crest of the Dyer Plateau (core 1 — 233.8 m and core 2 — 235.2 m) and two 50 m cores were drilled 4 km east of the divide".[52] Peel et al. list one core for 1988-1989, at 104 m, which is presumably one of the 108 m cores listed by Thompson et al.[42]
  31. [31]
    Drilling took place in 1990-1993, 1995-1998, and 2005-2006. Hole 5G reached 2259 m; in 1992 an offset hole, 5G-1, was begun, reaching 3650 m in 2006.[54]
  32. [32]
    Zagorodnov et al. list this core along with two of the Abramov Glacier cores as all having the same altitude, 4400 m. MacKinnon gives the lower altitude.[39][65]
  33. [33]
    Drifting ice island.[65]
  34. [34]
    Not included in MacKinnon's 1980 catalog.[72]
  35. [35]
    MacKinnon's 1980 catalogue lists three 60 m cores in 1968.[66] Gillet et al. do not explicitly list all the cores, but say that one of the 1968 cores was 67 m, and there was a 72 m core in 1969. This list assumes these are two of the cores on MacKinnon's list.[28]
  36. [36]
    It is not clear from the source whether these include any of the cores listed above.[39]
  37. [37]
    Drifting ice island.[69]

    The altitude is assumed here to be the same as that of the other Crête cores at the same coordinates.[82]
  39. [39]
    The altitude is assumed here to be the same as that of the other Dye 2 cores at the same coordinates.[72]
  40. [40]
    MacKinnon gives the coordinates as 72°17′N 37°56′W[72]
  41. [41]
    MacKinnon gives the date of this core as 1978.[72]
  42. [42]
    MacKinnon gives the depth of this core as 90.[72]
  43. [43]
    Benson gives a map from which the altitude can be seen to be between 4060 m and 4070 m.[99]
