Concentrations of elements in insoluble particles in Antarctic ice. Taylor Glacier samples were measured by spICP-TOFMS (red) while EDC ice core samples by PIXE (bulk), ICP-SFMS (acidified bulk), and IC (black)61. Measurements of the (a) Si, (b) Al, and (c) Fe, (d) V, and (e) Na are shown. Note the different scales used for the left vs. right axes for a-d). Concentrations of Na in spICP-TOFMS background are also shown (e) (red crosses).
