Scientists from the Austrian Institute for Interdisciplinary Mountain Research are seeking Austria's oldest ice at the top of the Weissseespitze summit. They have drilled to the bottom of the comparatively undisturbed glacier to extract samples of its ice, which is being analysed for information on the local climate thousands of years ago.
