More than 300 scientists from 14 nations have participated in NEEM Project (the North Greenland Eemian Ice Core Drilling Project), the most international ice core effort to date, and the NEEM project has recovered the ice from the warm Eemian Interglacial Period, 130 000 to 115 000 a BP and even more. The core has 2 537.36 m in length, and the last 2 m above the bedrock contains rocks and other material that have not exposed for hundreds of thousands of years. In this research, the background and outline of the project are briefly introduced, together with some experiences during the drilling and the 2011 NEEM field plan.
