  abstract = {{W}e compare the present and last interglacial periods as recorded in {A}ntarctic water stable isotope records now available at various temporal resolutions from six {E}ast {A}ntarctic ice cores: {V}ostok, {T}aylor {D}ome, {EPICA} {D}ome {C} ({EDC}), {EPICA} {D}ronning {M}aud {L}and ({EDML}), {D}ome {F}uji and the recent {TALDICE} ice core from {T}alos {D}ome. {W}e first review the different modern site characteristics in terms of ice flow, meteorological conditions, precipitation intermittency and moisture origin, as depicted by meteorological data, atmospheric reanalyses and {L}agrangian moisture source diagnostics. {T}hese different factors can indeed alter the relationships between temperature and water stable isotopes. {U}sing five records with sufficient resolution on the {EDC}3 age scale, common features are quantified through principal component analyses. {C}onsistent with instrumental records and atmospheric model results, the ice core data depict rather coherent and homogenous patterns in {E}ast {A}ntarctica during the last two interglacials. {A}cross the {E}ast {A}ntarctic plateau, regional differences, with respect to the common {E}ast {A}ntarctic signal, appear to have similar patterns during the current and last interglacials. {W}e identify two abrupt shifts in isotopic records during the glacial inception at {TALDICE} and {EDML}, likely caused by regional sea ice expansion. {T}hese regional differences are discussed in terms of moisture origin and in terms of past changes in local elevation histories, which are compared to ice sheet model results. {O}ur results suggest that elevation changes may contribute significantly to inter-site differences. {T}hese elevation changes may be underestimated by current ice sheet models.},
