The highest temperature ever recorded at the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station was −12.3 °C (9.9 °F) on Christmas Day, 2011, [36] and the lowest was −82.8 °C (−117.0 °F) on 23 June 1982 [37] [38] [39] (for comparison, the lowest temperature directly recorded anywhere on earth was −89.2 °C (−128.6 °F) at Vostok Station on 21 ...
In fact, earlier this year, the region experienced its hottest temperature ever recorded, breaking 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit) for the first time ever. The South Pole is ...
The south pole region features many craters and basins such as the South Pole–Aitken basin, which appears to be one of the most fundamental features of the Moon, [7] and mountains, such as Epsilon Peak at 9.050 km, taller than any mountain found on Earth. The south pole temperature averages approximately 260 K (−13 °C; 8 °F). [7]
The mean annual temperature of the interior is −43.5 °C (−46.3 °F). [12] The coast is warmer; on the coast Antarctic average temperatures are around −10 °C (14.0 °F) (in the warmest parts of Antarctica) and in the elevated inland they average about −55 °C (−67.0 °F) in Vostok.
At the South Pole, considered the coldest point on Earth, temperatures are rising fast. Temperature data shows that the desolate region has warmed at three times the global warming rate over the ...
The South Pole is hotting up Source: Nature Climate Change and warmed at three times the global rate over the last three decades 2018 was its hottest year on record Data also suggests the South ...
Projected global surface temperature changes relative to 1850–1900, based on CMIP6 multi-model mean changes. The IPCC Sixth Assessment Report defines global mean surface temperature (GMST) as the "estimated global average of near-surface air temperatures over land and sea ice, and sea surface temperature (SST) over ice-free ocean regions, with changes normally expressed as departures from a ...
[5] [63] In particular, the South Pole warmed by 0.61 ± 0.34 °C per decade between 1990 and 2020, which is three times the global average. [ 4 ] [ 64 ] The Antarctica-wide warming trend continued after 2000, and in February 2020, the continent recorded its highest temperature of 18.3 °C, which is one degree higher than the previous record of ...
