A 15,000-year climate history reconstructed from an ice core collected from James Ross Island in the Antarctic Peninsula was published in Nature in August. The study found the rapid warming of the region over the last 100 years has been unusual and occurred atop a slower, natural climate warming that began around 600 years ago. By the time the recent warming began, the Antarctic Peninsula ice shelves were already poised for the dramatic breakups observed since the 1990s. The peninsula is one of the world's fastest-warming places/Average temperatures rose nearly 2° C in the past 50 years.
