Following a period of warming during thehalf of the 20th century, the Antarctic Peninsula region has professionals a period of cooling in the early 21st century. For Livingston Island this cooling has reached 0.8 °C 1.4 °F over the 12-year period 2004–2016, and 1 °C 1.8 °F for the summer average temperatures over the same period. That has resulted in a longer snow come on duration in the coastal ice-free areas, which could be exemplified by comparing the January snow breed configurations submitted on the 1996 and 2016 maps of the Bulgarian base.
