Abstract: This dataset includes all visible observations made of the South Pole Ice core within a dark booth during core processing at the National Ice Core Laboratory. This dataset includes observations starting at 735 meters depth, down to the bottom of the drilled core at 1751 meters. All visible and cloudy layers are noted, as well as any other observed feature or cracks. In addition, all Volcanic layers measured on the ECM were noted.
