Hmm .. a milestone .. one has to wonder what sort of results they might produce .. 'twill be an interesting to watch.
The following quote is also interesting ..

One highlight of the camera deployment was seeing an expected volcanic ash layer at about 300 metres deep in the ice with the camera system.

Pretty deep finding for undisturbed volcanic 'ash' .. fairly old eruption, eh?
Cheers
PS: Maybe not that old .. this one dated at just over 2,200 years ago (the biggest in 10,000 years) ..
Ancient Antarctic Eruption noted .. says "We believe this was the biggest eruption in Antarctica during the last 10,000 years. It blew a substantial hole in the ice sheet, and generated a plume of ash and gas that rose about 12km into the air."
