The blue ice covering Lake Fryxell in the Transantarctic Mountains comes from melted glacier water. Credit: Joe Mastroianni, National Science Foundation The impact of sea surface temperature variations in the tropical Pacific on global climate has long been recognized. For instance, the episodic warming of the tropical Pacific during El…
