About this listen
Discover why the South Pole is warming at a much slower pace than its northern counterpart, the Arctic. This episode explores how Antarctica’s immense elevation, averaging over two kilometres above sea level, acts as a physical shield that inhibits the flow of warm air from lower latitudes. We also break down the unique atmospheric "puzzle pieces," from high-speed winds to massive ice sheets, that keep the frozen continent uniquely chilled while global temperatures rise.
