| Summary: | In order to be able to reconstruct what climatic changes took place in the past, knowledge of the palaeoclimates of the Southern Hemisphere is of the utmost importance. The Antarctica and the surrounding oceans play the major role in regulating atmospheric circulation patterns; even across the equator. In addition, evidence from deep sea cores has recently indicated that climatic change in the south actually preceded that in the northern regions by some 3000 years.
