Dye 3 is an ice core site and previously part of the DEW line, located at ()[1] in Greenland.
As a Distant Early Warning line base, it was disbanded in years 1990/1991.[1]
The Dye 3 cores were part of the GISP and, at 2037 meters, was the deepest of the 20 ice cores recovered from the Greenland ice sheet as part of GISP.[citation needed]
Samples from the base of the 2km deep Dye 3 and the 3km deep GRIP cores revealed that high-altitude southern Greenland has been inhabited by a diverse array of conifer trees and insects within the past million years.[2]
