Short summary
We report on the successful test of a new replicate drilling system for ice cores. This system allows for the ice core drill to deviate from the parent (the original borehole), drilling into the side of the wall. Thus, we can produce a second ice core from any desired depth, increasing the amount of sample available for scientific purposes. In the paper, we present the results from the first field tests and the challenges we encountered.
