#ClimateCrisis #Antarctica #HeatWave
Researchers recently discovered that the most intense heat wave ever recorded happened last March.
And it was in the coldest region on Earth.
Eastern Antarctica saw a spike of about 70 degrees Fahrenheit above average that month, according to a study published in the peer-reviewed journal Geophysical Research Letters. The region was at 5 degrees Fahrenheit at the peak of the heat wave when it should've been near -65.2 degrees Fahrenheit, the study says.
