Ice Core Sites
Ice cores have been taken from many locations around the world. Major efforts have taken place on Greenland and Antarctica.
Sites on Greenland are more susceptible to snow melt than those in Antarctica. In the Antarctic, areas around the Antarctic Peninsula and seas to the west have been found to be affected by ENSO effects. Both of these characteristics have been used to study such variations over long spans of time.
