Wilson’s Promontory or Yiruk Wamoon, 3 hours drive from Melbourne, Australia, is National Park with magnificent peaks, beaches, rainforest, and the world’s southernmost mangroves. A hiking and boating paradise, the promontory and surrounding islands are the exposed portions of a Devonian granite batholith.

obviously not my field but ppm measurement needs lab. Ice is transported frozen, often in insulated boxes.

Air bubbles trapped in glacier ice recently calved off Brewster Glacier in Aotearoa / New Zealand.
We don’t know the age of this ice but I estimate a few centuries - suggesting the bubbles would record pre-industrial CO2 levels.
