Antarctica.
A return to a colder Antarctica. It is winter there. The sun's rays are migrating south and last I checked there was a severe storm near Asia in the Pacific which will explain the return to sanity again on the Ice Continent.
The Peninsula, at higher latitudes, has returned to a state of melting which means Patagonia is not in much better condition. The very frigid temperatures at Scott Base again raises the old question, will this last?
There are a lot of places on Antarctica today above zero (click on) including The Larsen Ice, which of course is WAIS (West Antarctica Ice Sheet). The one place I definately wanted frigid temperatures.
