    The ice must be cut through, broken up, or melted. Tools can be directly pushed into snow and firn (snow that is compressed, but not yet turned to ice, which typically happens at a depth of 60 metres (200 ft) to 120 metres (390 ft)); [22] this method is not effective in ice, but it is perfectly adequate for obtaining samples from the uppermost layers.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_core

    Ice core sample taken from drill. An ice core is a core sample that is typically removed from an ice sheet or a high mountain glacier.Since the ice forms from the incremental buildup of annual layers of snow, lower layers are older than upper ones, and an ice core contains ice formed over a range of years.
