Utoo Radio with Other News Sources - October 7, 2024 - Antarctica is experiencing a faster-than-previous expansion of green areas, according to satellite images.

The growth rate of green areas has risen by over 30% from 2016 to 2021, indicating that human activity is significantly affecting the continent.

The Antarctic Peninsula's vegetation area has grown from less than 1 square kilometre in 1986 to nearly 13 square kilometres in 2021, accelerating climate and environmental processes.
