    Incomprehensible measures about high temperature will northern Europe‚ should close down. Considerable territorial cooling permitted the glaciers about europe to extend. Those ice reflected sunlight‚ which triggered further cooling through the ice-albedo reaction. However‚ those orbital progressions which control glacial cycles inevitably overwhelmed this sentiment. Warming resumed‚ and the current interglacial period

    is so cold in Antarctica. This sun that does reach Antarctica doesn’t even make much use‚ you may see a picture of a sunny Antarctica which it often is but it is not hot.

This means that the radiation that does get to Antarctica is reflected‚ this makes it very‚ very cold! It also has blizzards often with Antarctic winds falling
