Because Antarctica is a "polar" region, there is no precipitation, it has no lakes or rivers and is in fact the driest continent.
Average temperatures in the Antarctic interior get down to -70 degrees Celsius during the winter months and -35 degrees Celsius in the warmer months.
The coastal temperatures are much warmer with a range of -15 to -32 Celsius in Winter and -5 to +5 Celsius in Summer.
The interior of Antarctica is considered the world's driest desert because the extreme cold freezes water vapour out of the air.
Annual snowfall on the polar plateau is equivalent to less than 5 cm of rain.
Antarctica has some of the strongest winds on earth, with some winds reaching 320 kph.
also the lowest temperature recorded there was -82.9 degree(C) and considered as the lowest temperature reached ever

∙ 8y agoAntarctica is as large as USA and Mexico combined, the fifth largest continent on earth. The temperature all over the coldest continent varies: there is no standard.
However, please know that the coldest temperature on earth was recorded on the Antarctic continent: −89.2 °C (−128.6 °F; 184.0 K).

∙ 12y agoWhen the ocean water is not frozen, its temperature is in the 27-32 degree F range, based on the salinity of the water. When it is frozen, its temperature is colder than 27 degrees F.
Always, the liquid water is warmer in Antarctica than the ambient temperature of the air out of the water.

What would be the temperature of 1 glass of cold water in celsius?
"Cold" could mean anything. To me, cold might be 10 degrees Celsius, while someone else sees "cold" as 1 degree Celsius. In science, nothing is ever described as cold, because a questions that always arise are "how cold? 20 degrees Celsius? 0 degrees Celsius? -100 degrees Celsius?"
