Dated radar-stratigraphy between Dome A and South Pole, East Antarctica: old ice potential and ice sheet history by Rebecca J. Sanderson, Neil Ross, Kate Winter, Robert G. Bingham, S. Louise Callard, Tom A. Jordan, Duncan A. Young

“…The resultant englacial stratigraphy is used to identify the locations of the oldest ice, specifically in the upper Byrd Glacier catchment and the Gamburtsev Subglacial Mountains. The distinct glaciological conditions of the Gamburtsev Mountains, including slower ice flow, low geothermal heat flux and frozen base, make it the more likely to host the oldest ice. …”
