Borehole optical televiewer (OPTV) logs of boreholes drilled into Khumbu Glacier, Nepal, in 2017 and 2018 as part of EverDrill research project

These are digital optical televiewer (OPTV) logs of four boreholes drilled by hot water to various depths (see Instrumented Borehole Info) in Khumbu Glacier, Nepal. Boreholes were drilled in May 2017 and 2018 to investigate the internal properties of Khumbu Glacier, specifically ice thickness, temperature, deformation and structure, as part of the NERC-funded ''EverDrill'' research project.

Funding was provided by the NERC grant NE/P00265X/1 and NE/P002021/1.
