The green area of Antarctica according to the graph in this link is 12 km². The area of Antarctica is 14,200,000 km², i.e. 0.0008% is green. Seems like a noise

The green area of Antarctica according to the graph in this link is 12 km². The area of Antarctica is 14,200,000 km², i.e. 0.0008% is green. Seems like a noise data point.
- ac29 2y agoThis study was specific to the Antarctic Peninsula, not all of Antarctica. The study further restricted analysis to only areas below 300m ASL and free of ice, snow, and clouds. This is still a very small percentage of green, but orders of magnitude larger than 0.0008%.
- cft 2y agoThe area that was green in the recent years is 100% green, that is indeed much more than 0.0008%. Or does your answer imply that there are other green areas of Antarctica, outside of the Antarctic Peninsula, but they only focused the search on the Peninsula?
