every now and then, I look at this graph, and think about how, for decades, from 1979 until the boreal fall, or austral spring, of 2016, antarctic sea ice just seemed to ignore global warming, showing no trend. Then, suddenly, as the end of 2016 and the southern hemisphere summer approached, *clunk* antarctic sea ice fell down, and did not get up.

Graph of antarctic sea ice anomalies, from 1979 to 2024. It varies in a jagged and highly irregular fashion, with vertical excursions as high as positive 2.5 million square kilometres, and as low as negative 2.5 million square kilometres, but from 1979 to late 2016, there is little to no trend. Then, in late 2016, there is a sharp step-change, a near-vertical drop of around 2.5 million square kilometres. Then the line resumes its prior highly jagged, seemingly trendless behavior, but about 1.5 million square kilometres lower than before.

French inspection team says abandoned #WilkesStation poses 'clear risk' to #Antarctic environment
The abandoned Wilkes Station, contains thousands of old fuel drums, #asbestos-riddled buildings and other waste, much of it buried beneath the Antarctic ice and snow.
The Australian Antarctic Division has been using drone-mounted, ground-penetrating radar to determine the best option for cleaning up the site in the coming years.

Wilkes Station in Antarctica was abandoned 55 years ago. Australia is assessing the best way to reduce the risk of its legacy pollution.

French inspection team says abandoned Wilkes Station poses 'clear risk' to Antarctic environment

Wilkes Station in Antarctica has been abandoned since 1969. The site, with its old fuel drums, asbestos buildings and other waste, has been described by a French inspection team as "concerning" to the local environment.

👀 😯 oh wow #antarctic #language
Screenshot Antarctic English - Wikipedia : en.m.wikipedia.org *~ Vocabulary ’ Antarctic English features various words that are not used in other varieties of English. Differences in vocabulary include: British English // Antarctic English Sleeping chamber // Donga Antarctica // The Ice Homebrew beer // Homer Insomnia // Big Eye Antarctic English also has over 200 words for different types of ice. Words include tabulars (large flat-topped southern icebergs that break off from the Antarctic ice sheet and are usually over ten miles long), and growlers (underwater decaying icebergs roughly the size of a house).l?! In addition, the tourism industry has terms for different types of tourist encounters, such as Kodak poisoning (what happens when many tourists take photographs of the same site) and Dead-Penguin Tours (a type of tour in the late summer after penguins have abandoned weak chicks to die, leaving their bodies in popular tourist destinations, which causes grief in tourists.
