The datasets are temperature time series from thermistor strings installed into two boreholes drilled to a depth of ~7 m in the northern sector of Larsen C Ice Shelf, Antarctica. Supporting borehole information is presented by Ashmore and others (2017).
These data are part of the NERC-funded MIDAS (''Impact of surface melt and ponding on ice shelf dynamics and stability'') research project, with grant references NE/L006707/1 and NE/L005409/1. Associated (longer) borehole temperature records, OPTV logs and density records are also available, as are other MIDAS datasets.

Detailed methodology, including accuracy estimation, is presented by Doyle and others (2018). The data has a resolution of ~0.05 °C. Boreholes were drilled and thermistor strings installed and logged as follows:
String HR1 (CI-0): every 30 minutes from 25.11.2014 to 06.10.2015
String HR2 (CI-120): every 30 minutes from 20.11.2015 to 06.02.2017
