Location description: Lacustrine core from Little Swift Lake in the Ahklun Mountains, southwest Alaska. Little Swift Lake is a small (0.7 km 2 surface area), 24-m deep drift-impounded basin capturing the drainage of a deeply carved; 10-km-long glacial valley. The drainage basin has no glaciers today, but extant glaciers occupy cirques 15 km to the southeast. See Axford and Kaufman (2004) for detailed description.
