Deep inside glacier, scientists study ... ice

Researcher Miriam Jackson takes ice samples with a chainsaw under Norway's Svartisen glacier.
Nearly 700 feet (more than 200 meters) under the Svartisen glacier in northern Norway, researchers are huddled together underground. In the world's only lab located inside one of these giant hunks of ice, they are carrying out some of the best experiments on the movement and composition of glaciers ever done.
