Recent retreats of Antarctic Peninsula ice shelves shown together with the &ndash;9&ordm;C mean annual isotherm that marks the southern limit of ice shelf stability. Ice shelves that have retreated or collapsed are marked in red and extant ice shelves in blue. Locations of ice shelves studied are marked together with known Holocene retreat events (Hodgson et al., 2006b<ref name="Hodgson et al, 2006b">Hodgson, D.A., Bentley, M.J., Roberts, S.J., Smith, J.A., Sugden, D.E. and Domack, E.W. 2006b.
