鹰岛这座小岛位于南极半岛的格雷厄姆海岸附近。本次创纪录的高温导致鹰岛冰盖大量融化入海,靠近半岛中心的一些地区出现了融化的冰池,形成速度惊人。
"I haven't seen melt ponds develop this quickly in Antarctica," says Mauri Pelto, a glaciologist at Nichols College.
尼科尔斯学院的冰川学家Mauri Pelto说:“我从未见过南极融化池形成速度如此之快。”
"You see these kinds of melt events in Alaska and Greenland, but not usually in Antarctica."
“在阿拉斯加和格陵兰岛都能看到这种融化现象,但南极不常见。”
Pelto also notes that the source of this melt event - persistent high temperatures significantly above freezing - is not typical of Antarctic weather patterns. Nevertheless, these have become more common recently.
Pelto也表示融化现象的根源,也就是明显高于冰点的持续高温,并非是典型的南极气候模式,但最近却越来越常见。
In total, snow pack on Eagle Island had over 10 centimetres (4 inches) of melt in the span of just a few days - between February 6 and February 11.
鹰岛的积雪在2月6日至11日的短短几天内总共融化了十多厘米(4英寸)。
