Byrd Station in Western Antarctica is the Center of that part of the Continent.
So, I decided to take a look at how much Warming had taken place as of 1980 and this is that result:
According to the Data on the ground in Antarctica, the following:
According to the Data provided by Ohio State University:
Reconstructed Byrd temperature record (osu.edu)
And the AMRDC depository at the University of Wisconsin at Madison:
Welcome - AMRDC Data Repository (wisc.edu)
Upon which the table Data included here are based, it does look like there is a NEW All-Time Cold Record in 2023 for Western Antarctica's Byrd Station. Below the Coldest Months:
August 1983: -42.5 C
August 1981: -43.0 C
August 1978: -43.7 C
September 1986: -44.7 C
August 2023: -45.54 C
An All-Time Ever Record Cold Month since at least 1957? Maybe so!

WUWT's Anthony Watts published an article partly based on one of my LinkedIn In posts about the Byrd All-Time Cold record here:
New Antarctic All-Time Cold Record Flies in the Face of Media Reporting – Watts Up With That?

Rapid melting in West Antarctica is ‘unavoidable,’ Mmmm....., So says that interesting article from CNN (Oct 2023) - But the Data on the Ground says otherwise, it is Cooling again as of 2010!
It does look like, that after about 2010 there is a general Cooling trend on Antarctica
so says the Data from various sources, the Ohio State University and the AMRDC Repository at the University of Wisconsin at Madison.
So, where does CNN base their dubious claims of "Disastrous Sea Level Rise", because of "Melting" from "Planet-heating pollution" on, one wonders!
Rapid melting in West Antarctica is ‘unavoidable,’ with potentially disastrous consequences for sea level rise, study finds | CNN
The CNN story does not provide any links to the study they say their article is based on, only links to other CNN articles claiming the same thing (Circular logic/arguments - self endorsed/supporting logic, kind of?)
Maybe some localized Geothermal occurrence is causing some melting of some glaciers (the Thwaites Glacier)? There are active Volcanos on that part of Antarctica, just no one ever talks about that, I wonder why?
Mount Erebus is the second-highest volcano in Antarctica (after Mount Sidley), the highest active volcano in Antarctica, and the southernmost active volcano on Earth.
