The Antarctic temperature changes during the last several glacial and interglacial cycles of the present ice age. The lowest air temperature record, the lowest reliably measured temperature on Antarctica was set on 21 July 1983, when a temperature of −89.2 °C (−128.6 °F) was observed at Vostok Station.
In December 1868 and then in February 1869 Ivan Khudyakov made the discovery of the Northern Pole of Cold by measuring a record temperature of −63.2 °C (−81.8 °F) in Verkhoyansk. Later, on January 15, 1885, a temperature of −67.8 °C (−90.0 °F) was registered there by Sergey Kovalik .
The maximum recorded at Concordia on 17 March was -16.9 °C Pending the final data, in Vostok the value of -20.3 °C set the new monthly record but also exceeds the maximum of February (-22.2 °C ...
The West Antarctic ice sheet is likely to completely melt [17] [18] [19] unless temperatures are reduced by 2 °C (3.6 °F) below 2020 levels. [20] The loss of this ice sheet would take between 2,000 and 13,000 years, [ 21 ] [ 22 ] although several centuries of high greenhouse emissions could shorten this time to 500 years. [ 23 ]
According to the World Meteorological Organization in Geneva, the new record high temperature on continental Antarctica is a downright pleasant 63.5 degrees Fahrenheit (17.5 degrees Celsius). The ...
The 2024 Antarctica heat wave refers to a prolonged and significant mid-winter increase in Antarctic temperatures compared to prior winters, causing several regions of Antarctica to reach temperatures 10 °C (18.0 °F) above normal in July 2024, up to a 28 °C (50.4 °F) increase above average. The heat wave was significant for occurring during ...
A spokeswoman for the World Meteorological Organization said Friday that the Esperanza base on the northern tip of the Antarctic peninsula logged a record temperature of 18.3 degrees Celsius - or ...
