The retreat of glaciers since 1850 is a well-documented effect of climate change. The retreat of mountain glaciers provide evidence for the rise in global temperatures since the late 19th century. Examples include mountain glaciers in western North America, Asia, the Alps in central Europe, and tropical and subtropical regions of South America ...
Fragments of Larsen B ice shelf lingered until 2005. Radiocarbon dating has been used to date the start of glacial retreat on Alexander Island 18,000 years ago. [1] The outermost locations like Marguerite Bay were fully deglaciated 12,000 years ago and the further inland locations continued deglaciating for an additional 3,000 years. [1]

Comment I have moved Glacier retreat to Retreat of glaciers since 1850 to maintain the fact that we are talking about Glaciers, not Glacial process, and to honor the need to be time specific in the title. If anyone wants to start an article on Glacial retreat then they will need to discuss the processes and mechanics.
The Wheeler Peak Glacier is a vestige of the last glacial maximum, when the climate was as much as 8 degrees cooler than it is today. During that time period, glaciers moved down to as low as 9,200 feet (2,800 m), but subsequent warming during the Holocene Epoch (starting 10,000 years ago) caused widespread melting of both continental glaciers ...
Since 1984, the Northern Ice Field developed a hole near its center point which by 2003 had opened into a canyon exposing rocks for the first time in 11,000 years. By 2011, the Northern Ice Field had split in two. [2] [6] The retreat is not just along the margins. Between 2000 and 2007, the Northern Ice Field thinned by an average of 1.9 m (6 ...
