The Weddell Sea region arguably represents the largest unknown in quantifying the Antarctic contribution to the global water balance following the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). This paper reviews the available onshore and offshore geological evidence constraining the volume of formerly expanded ice in the Weddell Sea embayment, focusing on the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) and provides a preliminary reconstruction of the WAIS during the LGM. Dating control is generally poor and so our WAIS reconstruction is based on the assumption that the evidence of most recent ice sheet expansion dates to the LGM. Our reconstruction is intended to provide initial constraints with which glaciological models can be compared and shows grounded ice extent, flow directions, and ice surface elevations. Both marine and terrestrial geological evidence imply a substantial expansion of ice in the Weddell Sea embayment. Marine evidence shows that ice sheets were grounded in Crary Trough in the southern Weddell Sea and on the Antarctic Peninsula continental shelf during the LGM. Inland, the ice thickened by between 400 m (Ellsworth and Palmer Land) and 1900 m (Ellsworth Mountains). Ice core evidence suggests that the interior of the ice sheet remained the same or even thinned relative to present. The main unknowns now concern the exact location of the grounding line on some sectors of the shelf and the timing of ice sheet grounding and retreat. The limited radiocarbon data that exist on the eastern shelf indicates that the East Antarctic Ice Sheet retreated from the shelf prior to the LGM.
