"March 2022. East Antarctica — the coldest place on Earth — stops behaving like
the coldest place on Earth. Temperatures rocket 39°C (70°F) above normal in
just three days, turning a lethal −54°C into an almost comforting −15°C. Inside
Concordia Station, where life usually means frostbitten eyelashes and clumsy
hands in bulky gloves, scientists strip down to shorts and t-shirts, stunned by
the most extreme heat wave ever measured on the planet.
And then, in the same week, the impossible happens.
Warm rain falls where only blizzards should. Within hours, the Conger Ice Shelf
— a slab of ice the size of Rome — collapses into the ocean, like a city erased
overnight. The kind of geologic event that once took centuries now unfolds in
days."
