Aerial photograph of Vostok Station, the coldest directly observed location on Earth. The location of Vostok Station in Antarctica. The lowest natural temperature ever directly recorded at ground level on Earth is −89.2 °C (−128.6 °F; 184.0 K) at the then-Soviet Vostok Station in Antarctica on 21 July 1983 by ground measurements.
Satellite measurements of the surface temperature of Antarctica, taken between 1982 and 2013, found a coldest temperature of −93.2 °C (−135.8 °F) on 10 August 2010, at Although this is not comparable to an air temperature, it is believed that the air temperature at this location would have been lower than the official record lowest air ...
The lowest air temperature record, the lowest reliably measured temperature on Antarctica was set on 21 July 1983, when a temperature of −89.2 °C (−128.6 °F) was observed at Vostok Station. [ 2 ] [ 5 ] For comparison, this is 10.7 °C (19.3 °F) colder than subliming dry ice (at sea level pressure).
While colder temperatures have been recorded at Vostok Station, Antarctica (minus 128.6 degrees on July 21, 1983) and Klink Station, Greenland (minus 93.3 degrees on Dec. 22, 1991), Oymyakon's ...
This was Urquhart’s first week of running 871 miles (1,402 kilometers) over the course of 28 days in Antarctica, setting the record for the longest-ever run in a polar region.
A new look at NASA satellite data revealed that Earth set a new record for coldest temperature recorded. It happened in August 2010 when it hit -135.8 degrees. Then on July 31 of this year, it ...
However a review of satellite measurements taken between 2010 and 2013 found several places located along a ridge between Dome A and Dome F which recorded even lower temperatures of −92 to −94 °C (−134 to −137 °F), with the lowest reliable temperature being −93.2 °C (−135.8 °F) recorded in 2010, at , at an elevation of 3,900 m ...
The highest recorded temperature was 45 °C (113 °F) on 31 May 2003. [8] The coldest time of the year is in December–January, with average temperature of 19–25 °C (66–77 °F) and the lowest recorded temperature of 13.9 °C (57.0 °F) on 11 December 1895 and 29 January 1905. [9] The average annual rainfall is about 1,400 mm (55 in).
