The interior of East Antarctica is warming faster than the global average. A new study reveals a process that could accelerate ice loss.
A "blind spot" in Antarctica has been revealed: an alarming warming in its interior. The data suggests that ice melt projections might be underestimated.

00:00El corazón de Antártica es un descubrimiento enorme.
00:04Antártica, el mundo más caliente, frío, y más caliente continente, ha quedado un secreto por décadas.
00:11Cuando los científicos han monitoreo el cambio climático, la vasta interior de Antártica,
00:17que mantiene la mayoría de la parte del mundo de glacial ice, permanece un espacio blindado.
00:21Estudios focusan en los costos, dejando el interior, con sus monitores de monitoreo,
00:26largely undocumented.
00:28Pero todo ha cambiado.
00:31Un innovador de estudios, led por Dr. Naoyuki Kurita,
00:35de Nogoyo Universidad, ha enviado un shock de la realidad.
00:39Para el primer momento, un trend que defies expectativas ha sido confirmado.
00:43El interior de Antártica es warming, y es lo más rápido que en su costal áreas.
00:50Para llegar a esta conclusión, Kurita s equipo analizó 30 años de datos.
00:54From 1993 to 2022, collected by three unmanned weather stations in the heart of the continent,
01:02the results were impactful.
01:04All three locations showed significant temperature increases,
01:08at a rate of 0.45 to 0.72 degrees Celsius per decade.
01:13A speed that surpasses the global average.
01:17But what is driving this unprecedented warming?
01:20Researchers traced the cause to an unexpected origin.
01:22The Indian Ocean.
01:25Global warming is intensifying temperature differences in ocean currents,
01:29which leads to stronger storms.
01:31These storms create an atmospheric pressure pattern that pulls warm air southward,
01:36transporting it deep into Antarctica's interior.
01:38It is this intensified airflow, originating thousands of kilometers away,
01:44that is the key mechanism behind the rapid warming.
01:48This discovery is not just a meteorological revelation, but a warning.
01:52Current climate models do not account for this specific process,
01:57suggesting that our projections for the continent's future and ice laws
02:00might be a dangerous underestimation.
02:03Although coastal stations have not shown significant warming.
02:07Dr. Corrito warns that the warm airflow from the last three decades
02:11could mean that melting and a detectable warming will soon reach these areas.
02:16Antarctica, which once seemed unchangeable,
02:19shows us that climate change has no blind spots.
02:22The planet's heart of ice is beating faster and faster,
02:26and its pulse is felt in every corner.
