Location of tephra-bearing ice samples collected from Antarctica. a Map of Antarctica showing sampling areas with names of stations and ice core sites (gray circles). Triangles are volcanic sources reproduced from Narcisi et al. (2010); South Sandwich Islands (blue), South Andes and South Shetland Islands (green) and Marie Byrd Land and McMurdo (orange). b Nansen Ice Field around Sør Rondane Mountains; close-up of the rectangular area shown in (a) south of Asuka Station. Sampling sites are shown in red. Dark colored areas are bare ice without snow due to strong wind. c Close-up of the rectangular area shown in (b). Sampling sites are shown in red. d Photograph of tephra-bearing ice layer exposed on ice surface around Site JARE54-ASH1 looking at the direction of Site JARE54-ASH2. Clear bluish ice on the left is the ice without volcanic ash
