Once sections of the ice core have been retrieved, segmented and packaged in plastic sleeves inside cardboard tubes, they are stored in a snow pit adjacent to the drill dome. Ultimately, they are carried out from the drill site to the British Rothera station where they are stored in freezers awaiting transport back to Ohio State University.
