A mysterious hole As far as the press is concerned, all holes are mysterious.

And so the Leftists go racing off on another rant,... they found an earthly pimple where one hasn’t been for forty years.
We’re all gonna die!
Somehow we survived last time when we were technologically much more backwards than we are today.

Scientists call holes surrounded by sea ice “polynyas.” National Geographic explains that polynas are created when ocean currents push warm water toward the surface, melting the ice that lies on top. As the surface water comes into contact with the Antarctic atmosphere, it cools and sinks, then heats up again and rises back toward the surface. So they do have an explanation for the "mysterious hole" and it's a common enough phenomena to have a name.
Hysterical headline much? lol

"this particular polynya previously appeared for multiple seasons in the 1970s."This is VERY concerning. If you think about what happened right after the 70's, we had Michael Jackson music and I'm not sure we've ever recovered.

Re: “Right now, why the hole opened again is a mystery.”
I'll guess - a seafloor volcano?
Less than three months ago, scientists from Edinburgh University announced their discovery of 91 previously unknown volcanoes scattered along Antarctica's western shoreline.
That news has not been widely disseminated since foolish people like me might actually think that volcanoes are causing the ice sheets to melt, instead of global warming.

A mysterious hole larger than the Netherlands has opened in the middle of Antarctic ice Probably some so-called scientist running his SUV around the area and the global warming melted the ice. We need to get algore on this right away before Manhattan is flooded!

"The Weddell Sea is on the western side of Antarctica" I would have guessed everything in Antarctica was due north...;)
