According to the debris at the terminal end of the glacier, the ice cap is stable. There is no abrupt change in ice layers from the top to the bottom. Thus, the features of the Guliya Ice Cap satisfy the assumptions made for our calculations. en December 23, 2017 https://web.archive.org/web/20200228183019/https://earthsky.org/earth/oldest-ice-core-drilled-outside-poles-climate 28 February 2020 Scientists explain insights from ancient Tibetan ice core Eleanor Imster; Deborah Byrd w:Earth & Sky Guliya Glacier is located in Tibet’s western Kunlun Mountains, one of Earth’s largest supplies of freshwater ice outside of the Arctic and Antarctica. en https://web.archive.org/web/20200126101605/https://byrd.osu.edu/research/groups/ice-core-paleoclimatology/projects/china/guliya 26 January 2020 a. 2020 Guliya Ice Cap, China w:Ohio State University In 1992, an American-Chinese expedition successfully recovered a 308.6-meter ice core (see drill in photograph) from the Guliya ice cap (35°17'N, 81°29'E; summit 6710 m a.s.l.) in the far western Kunlun Shan on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, China (see map). Guliya resembles a "polar" ice cap, is surrounded by vertical 30 to 40 meter ice walls (see photographs) and has internal temperatures of -15.6°, -5.9°, and -2.1°C at 10m, 200m and the base, respectively. en Jan 17, 2020 https://web.archive.org/web/20200821012822/https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/01/ancient-viruses-found-tibetan-glacier 21 August 2020 Ancient viruses found in Tibetan glacier Rodrigo Pérez Ortega Science (journal) Science In 2015, when researchers embarked on an expedition to retrieve the oldest ice on the planet, they were doing it to look for clues about past climate.
