Ice Core Gateway: Vostok Ice Core CO2 Data
http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/paleo/icecore/antarctica/vostok/vostok_co2.html

NOAA Paleoclimatology Program

The Vostok ice core has a long record of global carbon dioxide concentrations, with variations caused by factors other than photosynthesis and human activity. Ice core data sets from three different authors are available for download. Users can also link to other NOAA paleoclimate projects and information.
