Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Antarctica hits 63 degrees, believed to be
a record
A temperature of 15.5 degrees Celsius on
March 24 sounds pretty normal in places in northern America, eastern Asia or Europe.
People enjoy walking and seeing flowers and greens outside and birds sing
spring songs. That doesn’t usually happen in Alaska, Siberia or Scandinavia
where snow and ice still cover most of the landscape. You can then imagine how
extreme that temperature is in Antarctica, where the mean annual temperature of
the interior is -57 °C.
Do the penguins in the photos look happy
with the warm temperature? Do they look worried to have new predators arriving
or emerging on their safe land?
Enjoy reading and guessing the impact of
such unusual and extreme weather condition in Antarctica.
