“Meteorologists have recorded that the snow level near the Akademik Vernadsky station is ... 2.75 meters: this is the highest value in the last 20 years!
The previous record was in 2016 and was 2.65 meters, that is, 10 centimeters less.
And this despite the fact that it is summer in Antarctica, ”the press service of the National Antarctic Science Center said on Facebook.
It is noted that "polar explorers have been heroically digging out of the snow for many days in a row."
Earlier it was reported that a total solar eclipse was visible in Antarctica.
