“What is the highest recorded temperature in Antarctica?”

"Antarctica recorded a maximum temperature of 18.3°C at Esperanza Base in 2020 reflecting climate change impacts. This unusual heat event raised concerns about glacial melting and ecological shifts. Antarctica’s climate influences global sea levels and such anomalies signal environmental challenges. The 18.3°C record underscores the need for climate monitoring and research. Studying this phenomenon highlights the broader implications of global warming on polar regions and their role in Earth’s climate systems."
