Based on a composite of several measurement series performed on ice samples stored at −25 °C or −50 °C, we present and discuss the first δO 2 /N 2 record of trapped air from the EPICA Dome C (EDC) ice core covering the period between 300 and 800 ka (thousands of years before present). The samples st...
