The systolic area of a 2-sphere endowed with a smooth Riemannian metric and bounded from below by a positive constant, admits the standard metric \(g_0\) as a critical point. It is shown that for each tangent direction to the space of metrics at \(g_0\) there exists a variation along which the systolic area can increase.
