“…This complete sequence of Holocene marine terraces has been identified widely across the SSI (Bentley et al, 2005;López-Martínez et al, 2012). Geochronological studies in several other enclaves of the SSI based on coastal lagoon sediments or radiometric dating of whale bones suggest that the formation of the highest levels in this archipelago correspond to the Early-Mid Holocene, while the raised beaches emplaced at lower elevations developed during the Late Holocene (Fretwell et al, 2010;Watcham et al, 2011). In Byers Peninsula, datings of whale bones included in several marine terraces at elevations up to 10 m a.s.l.…”

“…Our study area is located in the western AP, where conditions are warmer than in the eastern part and summer temperatures closer to 0°C, thus the impact of warmer conditions in the terrestrial ecosystems is larger. In fact, Holocene climate variability has resulted in significant palaeoenvironmental and palaeoecological changes in ice-free areas in Maritime Antarctica, namely in the distribution of coastal fauna (Sun et al, 2000;del Valle et al, 2002), glacio-isostatic uplift and formation of raised beaches (Fretwell et al, 2010), variations on the pattern of the sedimentological processes prevailing in lakes (Toro et al, 2013) as well as advances and retreats of glaciers (Hall et al, 2010). In this sense, in Livingston island, fluctuations of the Rotch Dome glacier during the Holocene glacier are confirmed by lake records from the nearby Byers Peninsula (Björck et al, 1991(Björck et al, , 1996.…”

“…Sin embargo, este retroceso no fue lineal -en términos cronológicos-, sino que cabe contemplar la existencia de varias pulsaciones glaciares que generaron el extenso sistema morrénico compuesto por varios arcos (dando lugar, por tanto, a una morrena poligénica). A su vez, el retroceso del glaciar fue acompañado de un notable levantamiento glacio-isostático (Fretwell et al, 2010;Watcham et al, 2011) que conllevó la formación de varios niveles de playas levantadas. Cabe señalar además,…”

“…Durante el Holoceno, la elevada sensibilidad climática de estas islas ha comportado numerosos avances y retrocesos glaciares en respuesta a las oscilaciones climáticas (O'Cofaigh et al, 2014). Estas fluctuaciones climáticas holocenas también han repercutido en los ecosistemas terrestres, entre los que se cuentan cambios en la distribución de la fauna (Sun et al, 2000;del Valle et al, 2002), el levantamiento glacio-isostático post-glacial y la formación de terrazas marinas (Pallàs et al, 1997;Fretwell et al, 2010;Watcham et al, 2011), la degradación del permafrost (Oliva y Ruiz-Fernández, 2015), así como variaciones en los ecosistemas lacustres (Toro et al, 2013).…”
