The Esperanza base on the northern tip of the Antarctic peninsula recorded a temperature of 18.3 degrees Celsius , the highest on record, the World Meteorological Organization said on Friday. “The Antarctic peninsula ... is among the fastest warming regions of the planet. We hear a lot about the Arctic, but this particular part of the Antarctic peninsula is warming very quickly.”Scientists believe global warming has caused so much melting at the south pole that the giant ice sheet is now on course to disintegrate. This would see an eventual global sea level rise of at least three meters over centuries.
