ALT For an exciting project, MacArtney customised a CORMAC Q5 Samples from the Antarctic subglacial lake CECs - identified by the Chilean research centre, Centro de Estudios Científicos (CECs) - may unveil historical data on microbial life dating back to human evolution. Geothermal heating and the high pressure created by the weight of the ice sheet prevent subglacial lakes from freezing over, leaving undisturbed and unique insights into climatic and environmental conditions from hundreds of thousands of years ago. It is not the first time, MacArtney and BAS have worked together, and both parties are happy with the specialised winch solution: "Once again, MacArtney has delivered an excellent solution for BAS. Taking an off-the-shelf winch and upgrading the capabilities for our requirements for subglacial lake sampling in Antarctica. During the factory acceptance test, the winch was clearly able to overdeliver on the specifications," says @Julius Rix, Ice Core Drilling Engineer at BAS.
