For the first time, this was to be attempted during the summer season, as all the earlier operations of motorised Ice Core drilling were confined to the wintering period of previous expeditions. Moreover, the existing drilling machine was extensively upgraded by the suppliers in Japan, and this was to be the first field trial of various new sub-systems of the machine. A. Transportation, positioning, assembling and installation of the new drilling machine at a suitable field site. B. Test Drilling of the first borehole during the polar summer season and raising of ice core samples for the upcoming Ice-Lab in NCAOR. C. Locating buried and lost DG station structures on the Ice shelf and retrieval of 160 m of Ice Core from DG Hangar building.
