Did the volume of the Antarctic ice cover fluctuate synchronously to the past climate changes that occurred in the northern hemisphere? Or have the southern ice sheets remained unaffected by these partly abrupt warming and cooling events? The glacial deposits at the margin of the East Antarctic Ice...
