ODP Site 1167, Prydz Bay, provides evidence of Pleistocene paleoclimate variations using delta (super 18) O from foraminifers and sedimentary organic matter. The collected data show a gradual cooling, glacial/interglacial cycling, and glaciomarine sedimentation. Regional and local maps of drilling sites from ODP legs 119 and 188 in the Prydz Bay and Kerguelen Plateau regions are provided. (MTE)
