we've seen a succession of really big glasses that have broken off usually from again in this antarctic peninsula but also from west antarctica as well you know it's the west antarctic bit that really worries scientists because there's enough ice there that if they're all that what's the mills in west antarctica you'd raise sea levels by about 3 to 4 metres world wide east antarctica is much bigger still seems to be staying cold but also just in the last couple weeks for the 1st time scientists have managed to go underneath this ice in west antarctica with instruments and look at what's actually happening and the ice is being melted below from the seawater which is warmer than it has been in passengers again because of climate change this is something that scientists thought was happening they've now observed it so really you know i think we're looking at a picture where this region could become progressively more unstable contributing to sail rising coming is i mean you touched on this but why is arctic cold why is the ice there so important when you we also talk about the arctic at times. we ar

changes in climate just because of this particular part of the planet the northern tip of the antarctic peninsula there are series of ice shelves and really floating extensions of glass tears into the sea and they've broken away over the past 2 or 3 decades and we didn't think that that was possible until it started to happen. and they were reversible process they won't grow back again for a 1000 years and this is the 1st time it's happened in in 10000 years so this is definitely a signal of dramatic change the ice is retreating for the south are not taught but we've learnt how really glasses respond to ocean and warming because of what's happened and we can use that information to improve our predictions of what's going to happen farther south where there's a lot more ice. and mexico city artists have been joined by hundreds of volunteers to create a temporary masterpiece and it could be a record breaking piece of string taht the tradition of decorating the ground with colorful exhibits started in europe but it's now an important part of the culture of mexico and central america and all the poli

an argentine research station located at the tip of the antarctic peninsula recorded a temperature ofhe fastest—warming places on earth — temperatures there have risen three degrees over the past half—century. i'm joined now by professor james renwick, a climate scientist at victoria university of wellington. professor, 18.3dc, that is almost t—shirt whether. can we trust the figure? yes, we can trust the figure? yes, we can trust the figure? yes, we can trust the figure. this station is run by the argentinian meteorological service, it held the previous record of 17 point forjust a few the previous record of 17 point for just a few years the previous record of 17 point forjust a few years ago. i was pa rt forjust a few years ago. i was part of the team that investigated the records they very closely, so we know it's a very closely, so we know it's a very well—maintained side and it's very likely this new temperature record will be taken as correct —— 17.4. so, yes, does seem like t—shirt weather, it is antarctica, but the very northern tip of the antarctic peninsula falls just outsid

these kinds of events these big one off extreme events are part of an ongoing trend so the antarctic peninsula for instance is one of the most rapidly warming regions on earth in fact it warmed by about 3 degrees in 50 or 60 years so it is really really rapidly warming a century but how bizarre is it that for the 2nd time in a week they've recorded a high temperature so the specifics of this particular event is to do with something called a firm wind and it's a weather phenomenon whereby you get air flowing straight over mountains and we have very steep mountains in the antarctic peninsula so when it gets on to the other side it's warm down it's dried so by the time i get to the surface it can cause temperature rises that really really dramatic like the ones that we've seen but then when might scientists be able to establish whether this really is a one off unusual event or or part of a new trend i suppose it is it's hard to attribute any specific event to climate change for instance it is just one day one event in a general trend towards warming temperatures but it is just one data point and

the antarctic peninsula has warmed by around three degrees since the 1950s and it's one of the fastesth. that is quite worrying. this isjust one places on earth. that is quite worrying. this is just one data point, if you'd like. it's not necessarily, you can't contribute it to an overall change but it is against the setting of overall climate change. so what is it doing to this lovely environment? cold certainly, but what is it doing to it? that particular event would have lasted a few hours, perhaps days, but if these kinds of events occur over ice or ice shelves or you can see melting occurring, in fact, these events are thought to have been linked to do the deed stabilisation of two ice shelves which are these floating platforms of ice on the antarctic peninsula in the 90s. what sort of shape is antarctica in? the physical plan scape and the wildlife, what's going on with ella is a huge continent so it's hard to say one thing for the entire place but we got really dramatic warming occurring in the west antarctic. it's been in the news a lot recently, they're accelerating and discha

get now to put it in this perspective it's this isn't in the middle of antarctica it's on the antarctic peninsula which is the bit that sticks up towards the southern tip of south america so it's not all the way south the south pole is still pretty cold but you know this is the warmest bit it's the furthest north but it's warming about $2.00 to $3.00 times faster than the global average so you would expect if you're going to see hot temperatures anyway you're going to see the february is usually a warmer month of the summer down there is a. now at the same time as announcements of this record i'm sure there's also does this glacier on the nova tell us about that so what we're seeing really if you go. a loss of 15 years or so we've seen a succession of really big buses that have broken off usually from again in this one salty peninsula but also from west antarctica as well now it's the west antarctic but that really worries scientists because there's enough ice there that if they're all that what's the mills in west antarctica you'd raise sea levels by about 3 to 4 metres world wide east until it
