The United Nations recognised a new record high temperature for the Antarctic continent, confirming a reading of 18.3 degrees Celsius (64.9 degrees Fahrenheit) made last year.
The record heat was reached at Argentina's Esperanza research station on the Antarctic Peninsula on February 6, 2020, the UN's World Meteorological Organization said.
The previous verified record for the Antarctic continent—the mainland and its surrounding islands—was 17.5C (63.5F) recorded at Esperanza on March 24, 2015.
