Article title is incorrect
The article title "Antarctic glaciers retreating" is a bit broad. The
glaciers are retreating only on the peninsula, as the article
indicates. The peninsula is a finger of land that extends
significantly northward, towards South America, from the main
continent.

Year round temperatures over almost all of Antarctica remain
well below zero, and hence, not melting. Please see the annual
average temperature listing at the British Antarctic Survey web
site at
