UNITED STATES (OBSERVATORY NEWS) — In the Antarctic – plus 20 degrees. Such a temperature record recorded on Seymour Island. The data cites the British edition of The Guardian, citing experts from the Brazilian weather station at the South Pole.

According to their version, on February 9, for the first time in the history of observations, the temperature in the Antarctic rose to almost 21 degrees Celsius, the TV channel reported.

However, statements by Brazilians have already called into question their colleagues from Argentina. According to them, on this day the temperature did not exceed 15.5 degrees.

Scientists called this situation incredible and abnormal.
