Climatic fluctuations over the Late Pleistocene. Ice ages are reconstructed using the oxygen isotopic ratio of the calcite shells of benthic foraminifera [9]. Within the last ice ages, large temperature fluctuations were recorded in Greenland, here depicted by changes in the oxygen isotopic ratio of ice [10].
