From: Volcanic glass from the 1.8 ka Taupō eruption (New Zealand) detected in Antarctic ice at ~ 230 CE
Location of the RICE (green circles), WDC06A (dark blue circles), and SPC14 (purple circles) ice cores, and Mt. Berlin and Mt. Melbourne volcanoes (red circles) in Antarctica relative to the location of Taupō volcano, New Zealand (red star; after Dunbar et al.13). Inset map of New Zealand shows the location of the main eruptive vent (red triangle) and Pureora buried forest (pink circle: Clarkson et al.62), as well as the outer limit of the Taupō ignimbrite (red line) and tephra fallout isopachs (dashed lines; summed thickness of all phases in cm) from the Taupō eruption (after Wilson and Walker28; Wilson29). Inset map of Antarctica (after Howat et al.70; Johnson et al.71) shows the location of the targeted ice cores relative to other Antarctic ice cores (light blue circles). For more information about the characteristics of the selected ice cores refer to Table S1.
