Short summary
We identified an ideal site in coastal East Antarctica for extracting ice core that contain detailed climate records dating back 20 000 years. We surveyed two ice rises combining radar measurements with ice flow modeling to assess their suitability. One site emerged as optimal, offering well-preserved climate history with high temporal resolution. An ice core record from this site could help us understand historical interactions between sea ice, winds, and precipitation patterns in the region.
