[From conclusion] Although the cause of the differences in chemistry of the Xixabangma glacier fresh snow events cannot be adequately inferred from the limited number of samples available for this study, the existence of such different chemical signatures is encouraging for future studies in the region.

Localized-accumulation basins in the Transantarctic Mountains contain sites yielding ice-cores that provide highly detailed (seasonal to annual resolution, depending upon depth),several-thousand-year records of glacial history, climatic change, volcanic activity, and atmospheric chemistry. The scientific attraction of these sites, first, their geographic location with respect to other ice-core studies (which are most commonly recovered from inland sectors of the antarctic ice sheet)and second, the fact that Transantarctic Mountain sites are more directly comparable to glacial geologic records because the latter are usually based on studies in these mountains. Although the ice-core records from these sites cover shorter periods than glacial geologic …
