Hercules Dome is an ice divide at the edge of the East Antarctic ice sheet, south of the Transantarctic Mountains at 86 °S, 105 °W, with optimal glaciological conditions for the recovery of a long, well-dated ice core. Understanding local variability of snow accumulation is an important step in inte...
