Map of Antarctica showing main geographic features (EAIS &ndash; East Antarctic Ice Sheet; WAIS &ndash; West Antarctic Ice Sheet) and locations of selected deep ice and sediment cores. Note: The McMurdo Sound area (box) includes 23 sediment cores, 14 on land and 9 from floating ice and ranging in length from ~ 50 to 1,285 m (see Naish et al., 2008a<ref name="Naish et al, 2008a">Naish, T.R., Carter, L., Wolff, E. and Powel, R.D. 2008a.

Further records of Antarctic geological history are found at Seymour Island (SI), James Ross Island (JRI), Alexander Island (AI) and the Beardmore Glacier region (BG).
