Abstract
The construction and use of some portable ice-boring equipment are described. The total weight of equipment for boring to a depth of 20 m. is about 36 kg. The weight increases by 1 kg. for each extra metre of depth. On a décrit la construction et l’usage des appareils portatifs pour sonder la glace. Le poids total des appareils pour un sondage de 20 m est 36 kg environ. Le poids augmente d’un kilogramme pour chaque metre en profondeur.Keywords
