There are similarities but there are also significant differences. As each new layer of ice is laid down it add its weight to those beneath. This does not happen with tree rings which respond to light. Ice cores are the result of falling snow. Light is a very regular feature unlike the unpredictability of snowfall. The weight of each new layer of ice adds pressure to the layers beneath. This results in distortions and melting of evidence. Ice at the bottom of the ice sheet is squeezed outwards and disappears. The thickest ice on Antarctica is antipodal to the thickest ice on Greenland. The cross-polar point to the thickest ice on Greenland is on the New Siberian Islands, which were formerly the home of a host of temperate-adapted animals. The antipodal point to the New Siberian Islands is Lesser Antarctica, which would have enjoyed a temperate climate 12,000 years ago. The thickest ice sheet on Greenland is at 72N 38W where the ice is almost two miles deep. The cross-polar point from Greenland's thickest ice sheet is 72N 142E. The closest land is the New Siberian Islands (75N 140E). If we were to accept that ice core dating from Greenland was a true indicator of temperature worldwide then the New Siberian Islands should also be under ice and could never have supported large mammals like mammoths,lions, rhinos, bison and horse.
