The two images above show the locations of the eight sites on the Greenland Ice Sheet where cores were drilled to retrieve climate records which researchers hoped would help trace the history of the North Atlantic Oscillation. The image on the left shows the extent of coverage over the ice sheet. The image on the right, compiled from satellite imagery shows the summit ridge bisecting the ice sheet, as well as additional ridges. Courtesy Ellen Mosley Thompson.
