Equilibrium line altitudes of alpine glaciers suggest summers in Alaska were not more than −2 – −5 °C colder than the pre-Industrial during the Last Glacial Maximum
The lack of continental ice sheets in Alaska during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM; 26–19 ka) has long been attributed to arid and relatively warm summer conditions. Records of this aridity across Alaska are relatively abundant, yet quantitative temperature reconstructions have been comparatively lac...
