Summary
[edit]DescriptionExtreme heatwave hits Antarctica.jpg |
English: On 18 March 2022, this image was acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites, while an extreme and historical heatwave was hitting Antarctica. The air temperature at the Concordia station, one of the most remote stations of the continent located at a distance of about 950 km from the Ross Sea, reached -12.2°C, the highest air temperature value ever recorded since its establishment. This unprecedented value indicates the exceptionality of the event. In fact, the temperature recorded is around 40°C above the average values for the area. |
