The Jones Ice Shelf was relatively stable between 1947 and 1969, but in the early 1970s it began to retreat and continued retreating, until 2001, when only a fragment remained. In 1997 composer Sir Peter Maxwell Davis visited Jones Ice Shelf seeking inspiration for his new Antarctic Symphony in the silence of the Antarctic landscape.
