The mid-Holocene rather simplistic sequence of potential glacial advance phase was disturbed by short-lived cold climatic deteriorations, well-documented over the northern Aegean region that may partly explain the multicrested shape of the highest (c. 2200 m a.s.l.) point the period between 8 and 4 kyr BP as another glacier-friendly candidate. Millennial-scale annual precipitation reconstructions at the hypothesized TP-ELA (c. Late Holocene (AD 1680–1860) reconstructed summer mean temperatures were lower by Ts < 1.1☌ in relation to the reference period between AD 19 and were also superimposed to negative NAOw phases, thus bracketing this time interval as a favorable one to glacial formation and/or advance. Mid- to late-20thcentury Pw and TP-ELA variations exhibit negative correlations with the winter North Atlantic Oscillation index (NAOw) at annual and multidecadal (30 years) timescales. The snow and ice bodies occupied a considerably larger area and attained a stabilization phase between AD 19, also manifested from aerial photographs, a period characterized by increased winter precipitation (Pw) with subsequent TP-ELA depression to c. 18 km) to the Aegean Sea and of the local topographical controls. 2300 m a.s.l., because of the cirque’s maritime setting that results from its close proximity (c. 2918 m a.s.l.), but permanent snowfields and ice bodies survive within Megala Kazania cirque between c. At present, the local TP-ELA is situated above the mountain’s summit (c.

2200 m a.s.l., based on geomorphologic and paleoclimatic evidence.

This study investigates the possibility of Holocene glaciation on Mount Olympus (Greece) with a respective local temperature–precipitation equilibrium line altitude (TP-ELA) at c.
