Short summary
We studied the glaciers of Mount Elbrus, a key site for understanding past climate and environmental changes in Caucasus region. Using advanced glacier numerical modeling calibrated by data from the deep ice core drilled at this site, we calculated the ice flow and age of glacier layers. Our results show detailed ice age patterns and confirm the glacier preserves climate records up to 2000 years old.
