Best Answer

If I only had those 2 choices...

I would use ALCOHOL since Mercury freezes at -38.72° Celsius.

The North Pole can get down below -50° Celsius.

Ethanol (alcohol) freezes at -114 ° Celsius

Methanol (alcohol) freezes at -97.8° Celsius

You could use whichever you want. But a mercury thermometer would not

show you the temperature when it's below minus 38 degrees, because that's

the temperature at which mercury freezes. You could keep the thermometer

inside the laboratory building where it's warm, or in your shirt next to your

body when you're outside, but that would kind of defeat the purpose of the

thermometer.
