We compare multi‐ice core data withδ18O model output for the early last interglacial Antarctic sea ice minimum. The spatial pattern ofδ18O across Antarctica is sensitive to the spatial pattern of sea ice retreat. Local sea ice retreat increases the proportion of winter precipitation, depletingδ18O at ice core sites. However, retreat also enrichesδ18O because of the reduced source‐to‐site distance for atmospheric vapor. The joint overall effect is forδ18O to increase as sea ice is reduced. Our data‐model comparison indicates a winter sea ice retreat of 67, 59, and 43% relative to preindustrial in the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific sectors of the Southern Ocean. A compilation of Southern Ocean sea ice proxy data provides weak support for this reconstruction. However, most published marine core sites are located too far north of the 128,000 years B.P. sea ice edge, preventing independent corroboration for this sea ice reconstruction.
