“I have been using the 60 mm piston coring system and the 90 mm Hybrid system during expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctic for about 10 years. In the extreme conditions there, the technology must be robust and function reliably, whether in summer on open water or in winter on metre-thick ice. I can clearly recommend UWITEC.”
