I wonder what the Mediterranean climate in Antarctica would be called. Lol.

It has a dry summer polar "ice cap" climate or Köppen EFs.

Here are three others with a drier summer but they are less pronounced than Mirny:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casey_Station#Climate
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davis_Station#Climate
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_G...ggins_Riquelme

Looks like someone has increased the record highs on a few locations, most notably Esperanza Base:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esperanza_Base#Climate

The source doesn't support the data in the wikipedia box. Political warriors.

I'll change it tomorrow if no one hasn't by then...

Ah thanks.

Yeah. Change it ASAP. I doubt people would frequently edit these articles.

You never know...

Fixed it. Now it looks more reasonable (although the unrealistic record highs made the climate look interesting).

The source (meteoclimate) doesn't support the new data. You used "tm" instead of "tx" for the record highs, so really you found the highest mean temperatures on record, not the highest temperatures on record.

I'll fix it later when I get a chance.
