  abstract = {{A}lthough a wealth of fascinating data have been obtained through the investigation of heavy metals in {G}reenland, {A}ntarctic and {A}lpine snow and ice cores, heavy metals have until now never been measured in tropical snow and ice cores despite the great interest of such low latitude cores. {W}e present here preliminary data on the occurrence of {A}l, {N}a, {T}i, {V}, {C}r, {M}n, {C}o, {C}u, {Z}n, {M}o, {P}d, {A}g, {C}d, {S}b, {B}a, {P}t, {A}u, {P}b, {B}i and {U} in a dated ice core drilled at an altitude of 6542 m on the top of {S}ajama in {B}olivia. {T}hese data were obtained by analysing four core sections dated 22,000 {BP} ({L}ast {G}lacial {M}aximum, {LGM}), 8000 {BP} (early {H}olocene, {EH}), {AD}1650 and {AD} 1897, using ultrasensitive {ICP}-{SF}-{MS}. {C}oncentrations observed in {LGM} ice are similar to those measured in {EH} ice. {A}l, {N}a, {T}i, {V}, {C}r, {M}n, {C}o, {B}a and {U} are found to derive mainly from rock and soil dust. {F}or the other metals, additional contributions from other sources are needed to explain the observed concentrations.},
