Abstract Sixty-three ice cores were collected in the Bellingshausen and Amundsen Seas in August and September 1993 during a cruise of the R.V. Nathaniel B. Palmer . The structure and stable-isotopic composition ( 18 O/ 16 O) of the cores were investigated in order to understand the growth conditions...
