The lead 210 method for dating was applied to firn samples collected from a 5-m pit at Mizuho Station by the 15th Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition. Two series of measurements were undertaken (Po-210 and Pb-210) and the snow accumulation rates were estimated as 19±2cm snow per year from the Po-...
