In the middle of the continent, which is also above 10,000 ft. due to the thickness of the ice, mostly, it routinely dips below -100 Fahrenheit during the winter. The official lowest temperature is -128.6 at Russia's Vostok station.
The lowest temperature on Earth was recorded at the Russian Vostock Station base in 1983. When it fell to -89.2 °C (-128.6 °F).
The average winter temperature is around -80 °C (-112 °F).
Temperatures reach a minimum of between -80 °C (-112 °F) and -90 °C (-130 °F) in the interior in winter and reach a maximum of between 5°C (41°F) and 15°C (59°F) near Antarctica Penninsula's coast in summer.
Lake Vostok's average temperature is calculated to be 27 degrees F (−3 °C ). The water remains liquid below the normal freezing point because of high pressure from the weight of the ice above it
On 5 January 1974, 58. 2 F is the highest temperature ever recorded in Antarctica. Temperatures as high as 59 F have been recorded along the Antarctic Peninsula.
it can get up to 50~55f in fucin
very very cold!
Very cold.
Cold
No, but the reflectivity of the ice in Antarctica contributes to some extent to the lowering of the temperature there.
The largest ozone hole is over Antarctica in winter. It is because of the cold temperatures there.
because it's cold there and it's called winter olympics
Siberia is not a desert. It is composed of taiga and tundra. Antarctica is a cold winter or polar desert.
Staying hot as a burning fire.
Which desert where? "Desert" just means "a region with low precipitation". Most of Antarctica is a desert; it gets pretty darn cold there in the winter.
The cryosphere had frozen most of Antarctica's insects for the cold and long winter
Winter begins in Antarctica on June 21 and lasts until spring, which begins on September 21. However, Antarctica is a polar climate, and exists in extreme cold weather all year long.
Being in Antarctica -- the most extreme environment on earth -- is at least bracing, and because of its cold, it feels cold. In winter, you would not feel much of anything after a few seconds unless you were warmly bundled in the numbing cold.
