The average temperature at the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station between April and September, a frigid minus - 61 Celsius and was the coldest on record, dating back to 1957.
Temperature data shows that the desolate region has warmed at three times the global warming rate over the last three decades up through 2018, the South Pole's hottest year on record.
A recent study found that, in the last three decades, the region has warmed at three times the global rate, with an increase of 0.61°C per decade.
The Askaryan Radio Array team recently published a performance review of the first two stations to come online, showing great potential for the detector to push forward understanding of the cosmos once it's fully operational.
For the first time in 4 million years, carbon dioxide concentrations cleared 400 parts per million (ppm) at the South Pole. It's the last climate-monitoring spot on Earth to pass the historic milestone.
