Reconstructions of past glacier extent and timing afford perspective on the efficacy of mechanisms thought to control ice-sheet fluctuations. Here, we present data concerning the interactions between the Antarctic Ice Sheet and a local glacier (Koettlitz Glacier) in the McMurdo Sound region of the w...
