Notes

1. Not included in MacKinnon's 1980 catalogue.^[6] Ueda & Talalay make it clear that a coring drill was used for this hole but not whether a core was retrieved.^[4]
2. The core site was 7 km south of Mirny (66°33′S 93°1′E).^[4]
3. The core site was 45 km south of Mirny (66°33′S 93°1′E).^[4]
4. Ten cores.^[7]
5. Three cores.^[7]
6. Nine cores.^[7]
7. Not included in MacKinnon's 1980 catalogue.^[6] Three holes were drilled to a total combined depth of 101 m; the deepest was 77 m.^[13]
8. Four cores.^[7]
9. A 10 m core was drilled every 100 km between 69°0′S 39°35′E and 90°00′S.^[19]
10. Ueda and Talalay (2007) mention two test holes of 35 m each, but do not say whether cores were retrieved, though the drill was able to recover cores.^[13]
11. Hole 1 was drilled to 952 m between 1969 and 1972. An offset hole, 1-bis, was started at 30 m down hole 1 in 1972, and reached 780 m the following year. Another offset hole, 1-2bis, was begun at 307 m in hole 1-bis, and reached 905 m.^[25]
12. Drilled along the traverse from Mirny to Vostok.^[26]
13. The hole was drilled in 1971 to 108 m, and then extended to 224 m in between 1974 and 1976. An offset hole, 2-bis, was begun in 1976, but the drill got stuck after only a few runs; the additional depth drilled was not recorded and Vasiliev does not report whether any cores were recovered.^[27]
14. Three cores drilled along the traverse.^[12]
15. Five cores drilled along the traverse.^[12]
16. Thirty-seven cores.^[7]
17. About sixteen cores.^[7]
18. The drill stuck at 142 m, and the hole was re-entered at 107 m in an attempt to detach the stuck drill, eventually reaching 145 m on this attempt.^[19]
19. MacKinnon's 1980 catalogue includes a 1974-1975 Novolazarevskaya core at 70°46′S 11°50′E which is not mentioned in other sources, but it does not include this 374 m core, so the two seem to be the same despite the slight differences in coordinates and depth.^[31][32]
20. Bentley & Koci give the depth of this hole as 412 m.^[31]
21. Eight cores.^[18]
22. Begun in 1976, this hole reached 721 m during the 1978-1979 drilling season. A new offset hole was accidentally started at 500 m while reaming, and the new hole reached 750 m.^[38]
23. MacKinnon's 1980 catalogue gives the altitude as c. 500 m.^[6]
24. MacKinnon (1980) lists two cores in the 1977/1978 season, at c. 64°20′S 57°30′W and c. 1628 m altitude,^[18] but Aristarain (1981), the paper that describes these cores, only lists one core, from December 1977, as given here.^[40]
25. Eight cores.^[18]
26. Gillet et al. give a depth of 140 meters for this core, but it appears they are only referring to the depth attained with the first drill used.^[43]
27. Hole 3G was extended by offset holes twice; the extensions, labelled 3G-1 and 3G-2, are treated here as part of a single core. Hole 3G-1 was begun at 1500 m, after 3G reached 1580 m depth; and hole 3G-2 was begun at 1969 m, after 3G-1 had reached 2083 m depth.^[45]
28. Coordinates estimated from map in Thwaites et al. (1984).^[46]
29. Hole 4G reached 279 m in 1983. In 1984 an offset hole, 4G-1, was begun at 120 m, and extended to 752 m by 1986. A second offset hole, 4G-2, was begun at 159 m in 4G-1, and reached 2546 m in 1989.^[48]
30. Thompson et al. list six cores obtained on the Dyer Plateau but do not give exact locations or altitudes. They give the plateau's coordinates as 70°40′16″S 64°52′30″W, with altitude 2002 m, and then say that in 1988–1989 "two ice cores were drilled to a depth of 108 m at a location 6 km west of the divide. In 1989–90, two cores were recovered 1 m apart on the crest of the Dyer Plateau (core 1 — 233.8 m and core 2 — 235.2 m) and two 50 m cores were drilled 4 km east of the divide".^[52] Peel et al. list one core for 1988-1989, at 104 m, which is presumably one of the 108 m cores listed by Thompson et al.^[42]
31. Drilling took place in 1990-1993, 1995-1998, and 2005-2006. Hole 5G reached 2259 m; in 1992 an offset hole, 5G-1, was begun, reaching 3650 m in 2006.^[54]
32. Zagorodnov et al. list this core along with two of the Abramov Glacier cores as all having the same altitude, 4400 m. MacKinnon gives the lower altitude.^[39][65]
33. Drifting ice island.^[65]
34. Not included in MacKinnon's 1980 catalog.^[72]
35. MacKinnon's 1980 catalogue lists three 60 m cores in 1968.^[66] Gillet et al. do not explicitly list all the cores, but say that one of the 1968 cores was 67 m, and there was a 72 m core in 1969. This list assumes these are two of the cores on MacKinnon's list.^[28]
36. It is not clear from the source whether these include any of the cores listed above.^[39]
37. Drifting ice island.^[69]
38. The altitude is assumed here to be the same as that of the other Crête cores at the same coordinates.^[82]
39. The altitude is assumed here to be the same as that of the other Dye 2 cores at the same coordinates.^[72]
40. MacKinnon gives the coordinates as 72°17′N 37°56′W^[72]
41. MacKinnon gives the date of this core as 1978.^[72]
42. MacKinnon gives the depth of this core as 90.^[72]
43. Benson gives a map from which the altitude can be seen to be between 4060 m and 4070 m.^[99]
