"Antarctica is among the fastest-warming regions of the planet. We hear a lot about the Arctic, but the northern tip of the Antarctic peninsula is warming very quickly. Over the past 50 years it’s warmed almost three degrees Celsius. The amount of ice lost annually from the Antarctic ice sheet increased at least six-fold between 1979 and 2017.” World Meteorological Organization provides a worrying update on the warming of the southernmost continent. | UN Geneva
