Caption: This interhemispheric comparison of stable isotope records includes two tropical sites (Sajama and Huascaran), two Northern Hemisphere sites (Guliya and GISP 2) and two Southern Hemisphere sites (Byrd Station and Vostok). This shows the global extent of the LGS and the climatic reversal (cooling) during deglaciation.
