1*C - -32*C i think :/

On the continent, water remains liquid down to 32 degrees F, when it freezes. In the ocean around the continent, because of the saline and other minerals in the water, it remains liquid to about 27 degrees F.
Well, lets do the math. The ozone layer is about -39. As you get higher in altitude, it gets colder. The ozone layer is about 15 miles above the ground. The temperature drops by 1 degree every 1,100 feet. There are 5,280 feet in a mile, times that by fifteen, you get 79,200. Divide that by 1,100 you get 72. Add -39 and 72, you get 33. The water gets colder by about 20 degrees. So, 33-20=13. 13 degrees, if I did the math right! The math is good but the reasoning is flawed: At 13 F the sea water would be frozen solid. Since sea water freezes at around 28 F or -2 C, I'm going to say that it is, at the very coldest, at least 28 F or -2 C. Since ocean currents drop off warm water from the warmer latitudes, the water is generally going to be warmer than that.

In liquid form, the water around Antarctica, because it contains minerals, can be as cold as 28 degrees F.

If it's liquid, the temperature can be as low as 28 degrees F, because of the mineral content of the sea water. At lower temperatures, the water freezes and is called ice.

As liquid, the water can be measured down to about 28 degrees F, because of the minerals contained in the liquid.

The water temperature is always close to freezing, between 32 and 27 degrees F, depending on the amount of mineral in the water.

Water everywhere on earth freezes at 32 degrees F -- 0 degrees C. Around Antarctica, however, the minerals in the Southern Ocean sea water can deter freezing to about 28 degrees F.

no you can not swim in the Antarctica ocean because the water is very cold you can probally die swimming in the water because its so cold.


Is the water always cold in Antarctica?

The Southern Ocean that surrounds Antarctica can support liquid water temperatures to about 27 degrees F, below which the water is frozen. You can decide if this makes the water 'cold'.

How do krills live in such a cold place like antarctica?

Krill are a sea animal and live in water, which is their natural habitat. Water remains liquid to about 28-32 degrees F. The ambient temperature in Antarctica is generally colder, but since the krill live in the warmer water, the extreme cold of Antarctica has no effect on them.


How do you stop water from freezing in Antarctica?

Believe it or not, you can keep water protected in Antarctica by keeping it in a fridge. The temperature is so cold that a fridge could keep it safe from freezing.
