In order to interpret the ionic variability in snow and firn from Patriot Hills (80º18’S, 81º21’W) to the South Pole, we determined the major ions concentrations and isotopic ratios of five snow and firn cores (less than 46 m deep) for the 200 first fractions, collected during the 2004–2005 Chilean-...
