“It was very cool to get the additional confirmation it was actually very, very cold.”
Researchers reported the first measured sea temperature from a snowball Earth episode: −15°C. If this figure holds up, it will be the coldest measured sea temperature in Earth’s history.

A new study by the AWI, the University of Oldenburg and the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory shows that changes in the West Antarctic Ice Sheet could influence algae growth, which could affect the ability of the Southern Ocean to store CO₂.
