A 724 m (2,375 ft) long ice core was drilled between 1999 and 2001 from a drilling site located near the summit of the Academy of Sciences Glacier.[2]
Geographyedit
The Academy of Sciences Glacier is roughly circular in shape with a diameter of about 80 km (50 mi) and an area of 5,570 km2 (2,150 sq mi).[3] It covers almost two thirds of Komsomolets island, except for an unglaciated area at the northern end. Its average height is 692 m (2,270 ft) with a maximum elevation of 749 m (2,457 ft).[4]

In popular cultureedit
The Academy of Sciences Glacier is portrayed in the 2021 film The Tomorrow War as the site which a group attempts to prevent the escape of aliens from a ship, 28 years before they do, without detection and spread across the planet.
