Unloading a new shipment of ice at NICL.
When a shipment of new ice arrives, the insulated boxes carrying the cores are quickly unloaded into the main storage area at the lab. This part of the lab is held at -35 degrees Celsius to promote the longevity of the cores and to minimize sublimation and diffusion.
