The rapid warming of the Antarctic Peninsula,which occurred from the early-1950s to the late 1990s, has paused. Stabilisation of the ozone gap along with natural climate variability were meaningful in bringing about the change. Together these influences contain now caused the peninsula to enter a temporary cooling phase. Temperatures remain higher than measured during the middle of the 20th Century and glacial retreat is still taking plot. However, or scientists predict that if greenhouse gas concentrations continue to rise at the current rate,temperatures will increase across the Antarctic Peninsula by several degrees Centigrade by the end of this century.
