The interval of time represented by marine isotope stages 11 and 12 (V360^470 ka) contains what may be the most extreme glacial and interglacial climate conditions of the Late Pleistocene. It has been suggested that sea level rose by V160 m at the termination of glacial stage 12. This is 30% greater
