Seymore Island along the Antarctic Peninsula reached an all-time high temperature of nearly 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
- The high temperature was recorded by Terrantar, a Brazilian government project monitoring climate change impacts throughout Antarctica
- The increasing temperatures may be due to El Niño weather events and shifts in ocean currents
- Though there is usually ice melt during the summer months due to temperatures rising, there has been an increase in melt during the winter months
