NEEM Camp

The acronym NEEM stands for North Greenland Eemian Ice Drilling.

Drilling started at NEEM in June 2009 and drillers expected to hit bedrock in 2010.

The plan was to process the ice below the brittle zone, per decision at the steering committee meeting in November 2008 in Copenhagen.

[2] On July 26, 2010, drilling reached bedrock at 2537.36 m.[3] The November/December 2007 issue of MIT Technology Review magazine and its website carried a report on early efforts to establish this camp.

The research goal is to seek preserved ice from the Eemian, which included a warming period in Earth's history.
