During the 1986/87 and 1987/88 Italian Antarctic expeditions a number of ice samples were col~ected f~om different locations. Sixty-five samples coming mainly from the Hells Gate and Backstairs Passage ice shelves have been studied for their -oxygen isotopic composition. Very negative <5 180 valu...
