Inaccurate reference corrected

The existing reference to a press release at British Antarctic Survey was incorrect. The Press release referred to an entirely different ice shelf, on Alexander Island, and citing this erroneous source gave the impression that Prince Gustav Ice Shelf still existed in the 21st century, when in fact it had substantially disappeared by 1995.

I have replaced the reference with a correct one; I am afraid it cites my own work, but this is a peer-reviewed publication that is a compilation of data that gives the known history of this ice shelf.
