Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports on the extreme temperatures in Dome Fuji and Dome Argus on the eastern Antarctic Plateau.

McIntyre warns this can lead to significant ice melt — raising sea levels globally — and may even expose hidden volcanic activity beneath the ice, compounding climate-related risks.
