Map of Antarctica (created using http://www.aquarius.ifm-geomar.de/omc/) showing some deep ice core sites where climate records have been obtained back to the LGM and beyond: Byrd (Hammer et al., 1994[1]; Blunier et al., 1997[2]), Caroline (Yao et al., 1990[3]), Vostok (Petit et al., 1999[4]), Komsolmolskaia (Nikolaiev et al., 1988[5]), Dome B (Jouzel et al., 1995[6]), Law Dome (Morgan et al., 2002[7]), Taylor Dome (Steig et al., 1998[8]), Dome C with a first deep drilling (Lorius et al., 1979[9]) and the EPICA deep ice core (EPICA, 2004[10]), Dome F (Watanabe et al., 2003[11]), Siple Dome (Brook et al., 2005[12]) and EPICA Dronning Maud Land (EPICA, 2006[13]) . The surface elevation is represented as grey contours (100, 200, 500, and each 1,000 m). Locations of existing deep ice cores going back to the LGM are displayed in white. Names in italics indicate recent ice cores spanning the last termination but not yet published. Further ice cores have recently been drilled at the Detroit Plateau on the northern Antarctic Peninsula and at Titan Dome near the South Pole. Future deep ice core drilling projects are displayed in black.
