Dampboring
Dette er et område, der anvendes af glaciologer at bore huller i glacial is for at indsætte ablation indsatser. Sne og is ablation, som kan anvendes til at bestemme gletscherens massebalance, bestemmes ved måling af ændringer i højden af et netværk stave.
En kedel bestående af tilsluttede lodrette rør opvarmes af en propanbrænder. Den producerede damp sendes til en boretip, som injicerer den direkte i isen.
