Would you use alcohol or Mercury in a thermometer if you wanted to measure tempatures at the North pole?

Alcohol would be used in a thermometer to measure temperatures at the North Pole because it has a lower freezing point than Mercury. Alcohol remains liquid at colder temperatures, making it suitable for use in extreme cold environments like the North Pole. Mercury would freeze at the very low temperatures experienced at the North Pole.
