Hydrogen peroxide is present in polar snow and ice in remarkably high concentrations. With values up to 300 ppb, H20 2 is one of the most concentrated impurities in polar ice. We present a continuous H20 2 firn record from Siple Station (Antarctica); it covers the last 83 years with a resolution of...
