Day 27 to the Southpole

Today was what I would define as a tropical day in Antarctica.

When we woke up, it was cloudy, but during the morning the clouds lifted, and then the warmth came.

The thermometer on the pole showed +5 degrees Celsius. In my mind, temperatures like that don’t belong on the coldest continent on Earth.

It makes you think — and it is important to think about — what we are doing to our planet. How can we justify an expedition like this when considering the footprint it leaves on the climate?

I don’t have the answer, but I’m also not afraid to reflect on it.

So take this as a little reminder that we cannot become numb to the fact that the world is heating up. We have to keep thinking about it, talking about it, and doing something about it.

The answer is something we can find together. I’ll keep searching for it out here in the warm ice desert 💙
