Due to extremely full schedules, 
the National Ice Core Laboratory tour schedule
 is full through the end of May 2009. 
Due to operational considerations the NICL will not 
book public tours from 01 June 2009 through 31 August 2009.  
We will schedule tours resuming 01 September 2009.  
Additionally, due to heavy operational schedules the NICL will  not be offering public tours 
from April 1, 2010 through September 1, 2010.
