Figure F4. Graph and maps of ice-sheet size and location at mean sea-level temperatures 5, 9, 10, 15, 19, and 20 Kelvin (K) above present. The maps indicate where margin sedimentation might be sensitive to particular stages of ice-sheet growth. Antarctic Peninsula glaciation appears to have developed during the last 5-9 K of cooling (from Huybrechts, 1993).
