Summary
An unprecedented heatwave has hit Antarctica during the start of winter, with temperatures at Trinity Peninsula reaching over 15°C — 20°C above normal. Scientists are alarmed as the region typically sees ice expansion during June. The previous June record of 13.3°C was set in 1998. Researchers also observed that an area of sea ice roughly the size of France failed to form, raising fears about accelerated climate collapse.
