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.
The first thing that hit me was the silence. Thank you for posting this video - I just wish it were longer
