  We discuss calculations of the phase diagram of the baby-Skyrme model, a
two-dimensional version of the model that has been so successful in the
description of baryons. Contact is made with the sine Gordon model in 1D, and
relations with the Skyrme model used in the quantum-Hall effect are pointed
out. It is shown that at finite temperature the phase diagram is dominated by a
liquid, and not the crystal that plays a role for zero temperature.
