The Milcent ice core is one of many cores drilled during the international joint effort with contributions from 
the USA, Denmark, and Switzerland as part of the Greenland Ice Sheet Project (GISP). It was recovered in 1973 
from central Greenland (70 deg. 18 min. N, 44 deg. 35 min W). It is a 398 meter core from an elevation of 
2410 meters a.s.l. The oldest layers have been dated at 1177 A.D. and the area has a mean annual accumulation 
of 0.530 m ice/year (Clausen, et al., 1988). There are several references available below.
