We reconstructed decadal to centennial variability of maximum sea ice extent in the Western Nordic Seas for A. D. 1200-1997 using a combination of a regional tree-ring chronology from the timberline area in Fennoscandia and δ18O from the Lomonosovfonna ice core in Svalbard. The reconstruction succes...
