The Sounds Of Ice

Boreholes drilled into the frozen surface of the polar regions (to retrieve ice cores for research) can be up to 3.5km deep.

Dropping a chunk of ice into one of these echoey vertical tunnels makes for very pleasing sounds indeed (best heard with the sound up or headphones on).

    They should mess with people by throwing down some alien-type stuff and then filling it back in before the next borehole is drilled
