Temperatures at the Concordia Research Station, a French-Italian research station on the Antarctic Plateau, reached 10 degrees — or about 70 degrees warmer than average.
“This is when temperatures should be rapidly falling since the summer solstice in December,” Wille tweeted.
Russia’s Vostok station — which is located at the center of the eastern ice sheet and where the average high temperature this time is around minus 63 degrees — reached a record-breaking zero degrees on Friday. Antarctica’s Terra Nova Bay reached 44.6 degrees, he added in his tweet, writing that “extraordinary anomalies in #Antarctica lead to historic records today.”
