I bet the archaeology up there is gonna be nuts, though. Gotta look on the bright side of the F5 tornado.

It's 90° (32° Celsius) in the artic, I'm so afraid it's too late for all of the glaciers. I hope to see one and show my kids before they're all gone.

Where is it 32 in the arctic? The warmest I can see is like 20 in inuvik (which is still too hot tbf)

I read an article yesterday saying it was that high in the Russian tundra all week, above the Arctic circle. It's warming much faster there than it is everywhere else :(

That's especially disastrous there due to the gasses being released from the melting permafrost.

Are we assuming iceland is not europe? Also isn't Jostedalsbreen much larger than Aletsch?
