Generally this question is asked in reference to water (which is ~100 degrees Celsius) It should be pointed out that the fact that water boils at 100 degrees Celsius and freezes at 0 degrees Celsius at one atmosphere pressure (760 mm Hg) is not a fluke. It was purposely scaled to to water.
In general the boiling point is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the external pressure acting on the liquid. On Earth in the open air the boiling point of a liquid depends on atmospheric pressure. As a consequence the boiling point becomes lower as the external pressure is reduced - as when you go to the peak of a mountain.
