The globe story also says record temps set back in 1982 & 80 over broader areas.
"The heat record for the broader Antarctic region, defined as anywhere south of 60 degrees latitude, was 19.8°C on Jan. 30, 1982 on Signy Island in the South Atlantic, it said."
"And the warmest temperature recorded on the Antarctic plateau, above 2,500 meters, was -7.0°C (19.4°F) on Dec. 28, 1980, it said."
So the story is about one temp at "Argentine research base near the northern tip of the Antarctic peninsula has set a heat record at a balmy 17.5 degrees Celsius," .
As far north as you could get . What is that suppose to tell us about sea ice extent during the summer?Whats the connection?
How does the ice extent today compare with the ice extent of 1980 and 1982?
