MC2 Post 1470 Antarctic Drilling Project Hits Major Problem

An ambitious attempt to drill deep into an Antarctic lake buried by two miles of ice has run into major difficulties.

The British Antarctic Survey says that over the weekend, there was a serious problem with the main boiler that is used to generate 
the hot water required for drilling down to the lake.

The primary burner controller circuit had already failed upon start up - and, while the secondary burner ran successfully for four or five days, it too failed on Saturday afternoon.It had, though, already been able to melt enough water to start the drilling.
