A 5.28 m-long ice core was extracted from a major cave ice body in the Mammuthöhle cave system. The upper ~1.2 m of ice most likely originate from precipitation fallen before the 1960s (based on 2H, 18O) in the ice compared to the potential sources (local precipitation, karst water) and by the chara...
