    The highest recorded temperature is 15 degrees

    Solution:

    Given that Antarctica's average winter temperature was - 34.44 Celsius

    The difference between average winter temperature and highest recorded temperature is 49.44 degrees

    To find: highest recorded temperature

    average winter temperature = - 34.44 Celsius

    Difference between average winter temperature and highest recorded temperature = 49.44

    highest recorded temperature - average winter temperature = 49.44

    highest recorded temperature - (-34.44) = 49.44

    highest recorded temperature + 34.44 = 49.44

    highest recorded temperature = 49.44 - 34.44 = 15

    Thus the highest recorded temperature is 15 degrees
