Antártida registró una temperatura de 30°C encima de lo normal

Una de las señales más claras del calentamiento global es el aumento del número y la intensidad de las olas de calor

Endurance was discovered at a depth of 3,008 metres (9,869 feet) in the Weddell Sea, about four miles from where it was slowly crushed by pack ice in 1915.

Antártida. La Antártida oriental registró esta semana temperaturas de más de 30°C por encima de lo normal, un “récord absoluto”, informaron expertos en Twitter. La base de investigación franco– italiana Concordia, instalada en el domo C de la meseta antártica a más de 3.000 metros de altitud, registró el viernes un “calor” de 11,5°C bajo cero, “un récord absoluto para todos los meses combinados, superando los 13,7°C bajo cero del 17 de diciembre del 2016″, indicó Etienne Kapikian, de Météo– France, el Servicio Meteorológico Nacional de Francia.

Pese a que las temperaturas deberían haber bajado con el fin del verano austral, la base de Dumont d’Urville, situada en la costa de la Tierra Adelia, estableció el récord del mes de marzo más suave, con +4,9°C, y una temperatura mínima de +0,2°C el 18 de marzo. “Los días sin heladas son ocasionales (en Dumont d’Urville), pero nunca se habían producido después del 22 de febrero (en 1991)”, señaló Gaëtan Heymes, de Météo– France.
