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.

Famous quotes containing the words ice and/or core:
“In vain produced, all rays return;
Evil will bless, and ice will burn.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“The ideal of men and women sharing equally in parenting and working is a vision still. What would it be like if women and men were less different from each other, if our worlds were not so foreign? A male friend who shares daily parenting told me that he knows at his very core what his wifes loving for their daughter feels like, and that this knowing creates a stronger bond between them.”
—Anonymous Mother. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Womens Health Book Collective, ch. 6 (1978)
