Temperatures rise in Antarctica's Dry Valleys
Personal memory by Beth S.
1997 - 2023 CE • Dry Valleys, Antarctica
During my field seasons in the Dry Valleys, Antarctica, in the 1990s, "warm" temperatures were -10°F days when the wind stilled. Now, I read regular reports from the same area of temperatures in the 30°s F.
