Antarctica just clocked a record-high temperature of 65 degrees.
The measurement was taken on Thursday at the Esperanza Base along the continent’s Trinity Peninsula, according to the Washington Post. The measurement shattered the previous record of 63.5 degrees, which was taken in March 2015, although it still needs to be officially reviewed and certified. It is summer in the Southern Hemisphere, and this time of year, Antarctica receives its highest temperatures.
