A 13 year time series of spaceborne passive microwave radiance measurements over the Antarctic Peninsula ice shelves, reveals a systematic increase in the duration of the summer melt season. Combined with data from meteorological stations on the Antarctic Peninsula, the annual motion and long‐term trends of the 0°C isotherm can be monitored.
