@ai6yr I sailed to the Antarctic Peninsula a half-dozen times with a scientist I was working for as a project engineer a while back. Almost every time there was some kind of medical emergency that required us to detour to a nearby outpost for a medical evacuation flight. One time, the fog was so thick everywhere that we had to transport the patient all the way back to South America. It is incredibly difficult to get back to civilization from most parts of Antarctica. #Antarctica
Percent area of the Arctic (land and sea north of 60ºN) with the annual average temperature higher than the 1951-80 baseline normal. Since 2015 effectively all of the Arctic warmer than the baseline. In a stable climate this would bounce around 50 percent with some multi-year consistency with more or less area being above/below normal. #Arctic#Climate#ClimateCrisis H/T @Climatologist49
