Ukrainian polar explorers show Antarctica in pink colours

This was reported by the National Antarctic Science Centre.

"We continue our "Colours of Antarctica" series, because the icy continent is not as monochrome as some people used to think. Its palette is very diverse. And today we will show pink or Barbie colour, which is very popular now," the statement said.

According to the polar explorers, pink is present in the Antarctic - it is the colour of sunrises and sunsets in good weather, when the sky is not overcast.

"As the colours of the sky are reflected in the ocean, the whole world becomes infinitely pink," the Ukrainian polar explorers wrote.

The photo was taken by Serhiy Hlotov, a biologist of the 28th Ukrainian Antarctic Expedition.

• On July 8, Ukrainian polar explorers at the Akademik Vernadsky research station recorded the highest temperature in July for the entire period of observation.

• And CNN reported that the area of Antarctic sea ice has reached an unprecedented low for this time of year, equivalent to the area of Argentina.
