which places have likely never gone above 0C in modern history?
interior antarctica obviously hasn't gone above 0C, all of greenland on the other hand probably has. look at summit camps record highs for example:
the peaks above 6500 masl in himalaya probably haven't done so either: www.mountain-forecast.com/peaks/Mount-Everest/forecasts/8850
then you have mt.mckinley and mt. lougan. denali foot camp (4300masl) had -17C as minimum this july. should tell something about the max temperatures there in summer. as a wild guess, +4500-5000masl hasn't been above freezing.
then probably some of the +6000m peaks in south america and maybe a tiny, tiny spot on top of mt. elbrus as well.
the mt. blanc station occasionally goes above 0C in summer, so all places in western europe are pretty much excluded.
thoughts?
