We report on the application of optical televiewing (OPTV) to the uppermost 630 m of the North Greenland Eemian Ice Drilling (NEEM) deep ice borehole, Greenland. The resulting log reveals numerous natural and drilling-related properties, including the integrity of the borehole casing and its joints, the presence of drill-tooth scoring on the ice wall of the borehole and the presence of regularly repeated layering, interpreted to be annual, to a depth approaching 200 m. A second OPTV log was acquired from a nearby shallow borehole. With the exception of the uppermost similar to 10 m, this log shows a gradual decrease in luminosity with depth, interpreted as a decrease in light scattering with firnification. This shallow log also clearly images annual layers, allowing the construction of an age-depth scale. Comparing this with an independent core-based scale reveals that the OPTV record yields an age of 1724 at the deepest common point of both scales (80 m), 13 years older than the core-based record at 1737. However, all of this deviation accrues in the uppermost similar to 30 m of the OPTV record where highly reflective snow saturates the luminosity of the borehole image, an artefact that can be reduced by further adaptation of the OPTV system.
