It's 90° (32° Celsius) in the artic, I'm so afraid it's too late for all of the glaciers. I hope to see one and show my kids before they're all gone.

    Where is it 32 in the arctic? The warmest I can see is like 20 in inuvik (which is still too hot tbf)

    I read an article yesterday saying it was that high in the Russian tundra all week, above the Arctic circle. It's warming much faster there than it is everywhere else :(
