This image is from a piece of ice drilled from West Antarctica located at the Wais Divide. Bacteria exist in small veins of the cores, and we are trying to survey the live to dead ratio of the bacterial cells present. These images were taken with the Axioimager M2 and are stained with SYTO BC (green) plus Propidium Iodide (red) as a Live/Dead stain. The ice in this vein was taken at the 3402 meter level; which is approximately 125,000 years old.
