Summary

Description
English: French, Russian, and American scientists in the Vostok team photo with unprocessed ice cores.

Cores coming out of the barrel are generally 4-6m long and are cut to 1m sections. The pictured ice columns are unprocessed cores. White containers in the background are used for transporting 1m sections.

Source caption identifies this as being from GISP2. This actually is at Vostok.

Image title Science demands cooperation. By working together, these French, Russian, and American scientists were able to accomplish their goal: the long segments of ice they so proudly hold symbolize this sense of cooperation. Just as researching the Earth's climatic history requires collaboration between different individuals and different nations, preparing scientific, political, and social solutions for Earth's climatic future demands a level of cooperation far beyond that currently existing. While different nations and different peoples draw lines of separation and division on the globe, we all must realize that we share one, single planet, and that its destiny, good or bad, is the destiny of us all.
