The author, who grew up in Patagonia, has always felt a deep connection to Antarctica, captivated by its boundless landscapes and the sense of infinity they evoke. However, this perception of Antarctica as a resilient and unchanging place is now being challenged by the alarming decline in its sea ice.
While the Arctic has been warming at a rapid pace, the South Pole remained an enigma, with its sea ice seemingly unaffected. But in 2023, the climate crisis caught up with Antarctica, as the sea ice surrounding the continent hit its lowest levels on record, easily surpassing the previous low set just a year earlier.
This dramatic shift in Antarctica's sea ice has profound implications for the continent's iconic landscapes and the author's personal connection to the idea of infinity embodied by these vast, icy expanses. The author's fascination with infinity has always been tied to the seemingly endless horizons and repetitive whiteness of Antarctica, but this sense of permanence is now under threat.
The author's personal perspective and emotional attachment to Antarctica's boundless landscapes add depth and poignancy to the discussion of the climate crisis unfolding in this remote and fragile region of the world.
