Abstract
- The peak in Antarctic ice core isotope values, 128,000 years before present, was concurrent with a significantly warmer-than-present Antarctic climate. Here, the authors show that this isotope maximum was associated with a major retreat of sea ice and not a collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet.
