A pH profile along a well-dated firn core from the Brunt Ice Shelf near Halley Base, Antarctica, was obtained spanning the last 30 years, from 1951/1952 to the present. Especial emphasis is paid to the summer decrease in the seasonal variation and to the extremely low pH values in some summers betwe...
