It’s mid-winter but a large area of West Antarctica that should be frozen solid is not frozen. What’s up? Antarctica is the coldest spot on the planet where the average winter temperature is -34.4°C (-30°F), but it does vary by region. For example, inland locations like the South Pole average around -60°C (-76°F), while coastal areas such as the Antarctic Peninsula range between -12°C and -20°C (10°F to -4°F). The area recently experienced a winter heatwave, but that has passed. Winter heatwaves happen on occasion, but the ice always, always, always refreezes for as long as anybody can remember.

Thwaites “the Doomsday Glacier” West Antarctica is the world’s most famous icon of global warming. It is acting up! Recent satellite images show a massive breakup in-process, to wit: “It’s dramatic. I was there in 2019/2020 and when I look at the satellite images now, I don’t recognize the shelf. There are huge gashes where there used to be none,” says Karen Alley at the University of Manitoba in Canada, who has been analyzing how this break-up is playing out.” (The ‘Doomsday’ Glacier’s Giant Ice Shelf is About to Break Away, New Scientist, May 18, 2026)

Melting glaciers threaten the supply of food and water for billions across the globe, the United Nations warned in its 2025 World Water Development Report: Mountains and Glaciers: Water towers. Mountains supply 55 to 60 percent of the planet’s annual freshwater flow, with two billion people reliant on the waters flowing from them. “As the world’s water towers, mountains provide life-sustaining fresh water to billions of people and countless ecosystems; their critical role in sustainable development cannot be ignored,” a press release from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) said.
