  2. Vostok Station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vostok_Station

    Vostok Research Station is around 1,301 kilometres (808 mi) from the Geographic South Pole, at the middle of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet.. Vostok is located near the southern pole of inaccessibility and the south geomagnetic pole, making it one of the optimal places to observe changes in the Earth's magnetosphere.

  3. Ice core - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_core

    A fifth Vostok core was begun in 1990, reached 3661 m in 2007, and was later extended to 3769 m. [108] [113] The estimated age of the ice is 420,000 years at 3310 m depth; below that point it is difficult to interpret the data reliably because of mixing of the ice. [114] The EPICA Dome C and Vostok ice cores compared

    The picture shows delta deuterium data (a proxy for temperature: more negative values indicate lower temperatures) from both EPICA and Vostok. The upper plot, with x-axis being age (years before 1950) clearly shows the extra information in the EPICA core before the start of the Vostok record. The lower picture, plotted against depth, shows how ...

    La originala priskribo estas: Graph of CO 2 (Green graph), temperature (Blue graph), and dust concentration (Red graph) measured from the Vostok, Antarctica ice core as reported by Petit et al., 1999. Higher dust levels are believed to be caused by cold, dry periods.

  6. Lowest temperature recorded on Earth - Wikipedia

    Aerial photograph of Vostok Station, the coldest directly observed location on Earth. The location of Vostok Station in Antarctica. The lowest natural temperature ever directly recorded at ground level on Earth is −89.2 °C (−128.6 °F; 184.0 K) at the then-Soviet Vostok Station in Antarctica on 21 July 1983 by ground measurements.

  7. National Science Foundation Ice Core Facility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Science...

    The National Science Foundation Ice Core Facility (NSF-ICF), known as the National Ice Core Laboratory (NICL) before 2018, is the primary repository for ice cores collected by the United States. The facility is located at the Denver Federal Center in Lakewood, Colorado , and is managed by the United States Geological Survey (USGS). [ 1 ]

  8. Quaternary glaciation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternary_glaciation

    Graph of reconstructed temperature (blue), CO 2 (green), and dust (red) from the Vostok Station ice core for the past 420,000 years. To geologists, an ice age is defined by the presence of large amounts of land-based ice.
