@jhaue The “cleanest air in the world” claim is a bit bullshit, really.
The site gets affected by smoke coming from Tasmania, dust coming from the mainland... you name it, they get it. But they don’t bother making as many measurements when it is not in “baseline” conditions. It’s *only* when it is getting air from the west or southwest that it is “clean”, and then only as clean as the rest of the Southern Ocean.
The researchers quoted in the article say that, but *every time* it appears in any media the claim is exaggerated.
