Titan Dome is located about 200 km from the South Pole along the 180◦ meridian within the East Antarctic Ice Sheet. Based on sparse data, it is a region that is identified as having a higher probability of containing ice that would capture the middle Pleistocene transition (1.25 to 0.7 Ma) as a pale...
