What your support enables

Supporting Ice Memory is your opportunity to leave a milestone heritage for the next generations. Your support will make a direct impact on the number of glaciers that could be drilled in the coming decade.

Indicative average cost of a drilling operation and storing a heritage ice core: between 300.000 € and 1.000.000 €. Drillings are also a great way to raise awareness around climate change and ice core preservation.
