The first of these boreholes was sunk about 3 km south of Maitri station and its location was 70? 46' 51.9" south latitude and 11? 43' 05.3" east longitude. This work was carried out between March and May, 96. The total depth of this borehole was 76.23 m and the bedrock was encountered at the bottom. This borehole was subsequently utilised for studying the thermal variations within this part of the glacier Fourteen thermistors (PT-100) were calibrated and installed at depths of 1, 2,3,4, 5, 10, 15, 20,25,35,45, 55,65 and 76 metres depths, respectively. Then the borehole was filled up with water to replace the original medium, i.e. ice. A few days were given to the borehole-column to cool down to the level of the surrounding depths. After that, the readings of the thermistors were recorded with a multimeter. Additionally, one reading was taken for the surface temperature also.
