This summer, a heatwave across Antarctica saw temperatures soar above average. Temperatures above zero are especially significant because they accelerate ice melt. Casey Station had its highest temperature ever, reaching a maximum of 9.2 degrees C and minimum of 2.5 degrees C. The highest temperature in Antarctica was 20.75 degrees C on 9 February. Here we discuss the biological implications of such extreme events.
