TL;DR: The recent completion of drilling at Vostok station in East Antarctica has allowed the extension of the ice record of atmospheric composition and climate to the past four glacial-interglacial cycles.

TL;DR: The recent completion of drilling at Vostok station in East Antarctica has allowed the extension of the ice record of atmospheric composition and climate to the past four glacial-interglacial cycles as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, a deuterium profile along the 160,000-year Vostok ice core (Antarctica) is interpreted in terms of atmospheric temperature changes, which is the awaited terrestrial complement of the deep-sea records supporting the existence of a relation between the Pleistocene climate and orbital forcing.

TL;DR: In this article, a new climatic-time series for the past 150 kyr was obtained using δ18 O data from an Antarctic ice core, which was used to reconstruct the last interglacial, the last glacial and the present holocene interglastic.

TL;DR: The ice-core record of local temperature, dust accumulation and air composition at Vostok station, Antarctica, now extends back to the penultimate glacial period (∼140-200 kyr ago) and the end of the preceding interglacial as discussed by the authors.
