NOAA has a nice visual of the recession of the Jakobshavn glacier which RC posted here: http://www.realclimate.org/images/jakobshavn.jpg There was a rather large retreat from 1851 until 1913, then slowing until 2001, with a recent acceleration.

The impacts of this recent regional rapid warming around the Antarctic Peninsula have been dramatic, with the collapse of ice shelves [14], and with 87 % of glaciers in recession [15].

(4) Norway's glaciers are currently more advanced than nearly all of the last 10,000 years, with pronounced recession occurring during the 1800s.

Most (about 2/3) of the recent recession of the glacier occurred between 1860 and 1957 and can not be ascribed to the anthropic emissions of CO2 which were then insignificant: 0,083 Gt - C in 1859, 1,3 Gt - C in 1940 and 2,2 Gt - C in 1956 with an assumed CO2 content of the air - from Law Dome ice core - of 286 ppm in 1859, 310 ppm in 1940 and 314 ppm in 1956.
