Description :
The aim of this paper is to document the response of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS) near the Dry Valleys to the excess warmth of the last interglaciation by establishing the behavior of Taylor Glacier. The AA. present a model for the deposition by Taylor Glacier of Bonney drift in central Taylor Valley. Bonney drift is important because it records the penultimate advance of Taylor Glacier through central and lower Taylor Valley.
