Antarctica recorded a temperature record of more than 20.75 degrees in February, breaking the 20 ° C mark for the first time.

The record was recorded on February 9 on Seymour Island, off the Antarctic Peninsula, said Brazilian researcher Carlos Schaefer. However, these data "are not valid as a trend of climate change". "It is just a sign that something different is happening in this region," he said.
