Methane sulphonic acid (MSA) in an ice core from Dolleman Island (70°35′S, 60°56′W) shows significantly high concentrations (typically 1-2 µm, but up to 5 µm) compared to values recorded in ice cores and in snowfall from elsewhere in Antarctica. MSA data from two other higher altitude Antarctic Peni...
