Abstract: In this paper, construction, design and technical data of Type Glacier-I Hot-Water ice auger were introduced. This apparatus was successfully developed, the first of its kind in our country, and its experimental results at Tian Shan Glaciological Station were also given.It showed that the drilling speed is 27.27 m/h, reaching a depth of 109.91 m with a continual drilling on the Glacier No.1 in Tian Shan Glaciological Station (altitute 3,850 m).Experimental result shows that the device is reasonably designed and characterized by light-weight and portable, simple structure, easy operation and high efficiency. It is favourable for glacial investigation.
