Location of CO₂ ice in NGC 6302. The image shows HST/WFC3 observations featuring filter F656N (Kastner et al. 2022), which traces Hα emission. The JWST MIRI mosaic is indicated by the white frame. Contours show the column density of gas-phase CO₂, with corresponding log N values (cm⁻²) provided in the lower left. The yellow dot marks the pixel position (R.A. = 17^h:13^m:44.402^s, Dec. = -37°:06′:10.23 (J2000)) used to extract the spectra shown in Figs. 1, 2, B.1, and C.1.
