The Dominion Range Ice Core, Queen Maud Montains, Antarctica - General Site and Core Characteristics with Implications
The Transantarctic Mountains of East Antarctica provide a new milieu for retrieval of ice-core records. We report here on the initial findings from the first of these records, the Dominion Range ice-core record. Sites such as the Dominion Range are valuable for the recovery of records detailing clim...
