The Danish Meteorological Institute recorded over 24 hours where the Cape Morris Jesup weather station, which sits roughly 400 miles from the North Pole at the northern tip of Greenland, hit temperatures above freezing.e.twitter.

"What’s exactly driving these changes is not clear, but having storm tracks move further north (i. Cape Morris Jesup is typically around -33 degrees at this time of year, according to Climatemaps. Physicist Robert Rohde, lead scientist at climate science non-profit Berkeley Earth, pointed to warm air coming from the Atlantic as part of the cause of the high temperatures at the North Pole. Mottram told The Guardian that what makes this North Pole "heat wave" so special is the amount of time the temperature spike has lasted. "I think it's fair to say that this event is unprecedented in our record — both in terms of the magnitude and (for Kap Morris Jesup at least) the duration," the Danish Meteorological Institute's Ruth Mottram told Mashable. Perpetual night, but still above freezing.

Temperatures in the North Pole area have been more than 35 degrees Celsius warmer in comparison to historical averages for this time of the year.co/G14x2efQuC pic
