    Surface temperature of Antarctica in winter and summer from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts. The climate of Antarctica is the coldest on Earth.The continent is also extremely dry (it is a desert [1]), averaging 166 mm (6.5 in) of precipitation per year. Snow rarely melts on most parts of the continent, and, after being compressed, becomes the glacier ice that makes up ...

    We have listed all measured values that have not been reached in the Antarctica for 10 or more years. With just 0.75 liters of precipitation in 2024, October was drier than it had been for 19 years (0.59 l/m² in 2005). The lowest temperature of -61.50°C reached in September 2024 was last seen in the same month 13 years ago (-61.90°C in 2011).

    In Antarctica, temperature variations from year to year are considerable: the standard deviation of the mean annual temperature is generally around 0.61/1.56 °C (1/2.8 °F), while for example it's 0.5 °C (0.9 °F) in London. The difference in the average temperature from one year to another can be as high as 4 °C (7 °F).

    3 days agoFrom the late 18th to the mid-20th century, whalers and sealers plied the rich seas that surround the continent. Science then replaced whaling and sealing as the primary year-round human activity in Antarctica. In addition, krill harvesting and other types of commercial fishing in the Southern Ocean expanded from the 1960s onwards. The new millennium saw tourism and (to a lesser extent ...

    May 24, 2024Antarctica, the southernmost continent on Earth, is approximately twice the size of Australia and is primarily covered by ice, accounting for about 70% of the world's fresh water.This vast frozen desert is dominated by an Ice cap climate (Köppen classification "EF") meaning temperatures are frigid throughout the year.

    The first semi-permanent inhabitants of regions near Antarctica (areas situated south of the Antarctic Convergence) were British and American sealers who used to spend a year or more on South Georgia, from 1786 onward. During the whaling era, which lasted until 1966, the population of the island varied from over 1,000 in the summer (over 2,000 ...

    Jun 7, 2024Its year-by-year buildup and compaction across the eons explains the existence of the Antarctic ice sheet. Roughly considering the liquid-water equivalent of Antarctica's mostly frozen precipitation, the average rainfall in Antarctica, continent-wide, shakes out to something like 150 millimeters (6 in.), according to the Australian Antarctic ...

    In the 180 million years since the Gondwana supercontinent began to break up, its central fragment, Antarctica, has changed from a warm and equable environment with abundant plant and animal life to its current state, covered almost entirely by ice sheets totaling 27 million km 3 in volume (Fretwell et al., 2013).Despite its geographic isolation, Antarctica plays a major role in the global ...
