Which place on earth is coldest and why?
Vostok in the central region of Antarctica has the lowest temperature ever recorded on earth this temperature was recorded at -81 Celsius and was measured when the soviet union had control of this base. Its individual climate is one of the coldest known to all humanoids. The reason this place is so cold is split up into two equal factors one its positioning on the globe and also the 400m sheet of ice this ex station sits on. The station is above the lake Vostok and is generally occupied at present by scientist from all over the planet, who each take pride in discovering more about the theory of the earth and the climatic future that awaits our race.

What is the difference of Theravada Buddhism and Dalai Lama's tradition?
Theravada Buddhism is the oldest surviving school of Buddhist thought. Much of the Theravada Buddhist philosophy and lifestyle is based on the Pali Canonical Texts that are said the original Teachings given by the Buddha. The practitioners live their lives in pursuit of becoming an Arhat (sometimes said to mean "One who has vanquished his enemies"). The enemies being vanquished are greed, hate, and ignorance. In Theravada Buddhism, an Arhat is considered to be enlightened. Practitioners primarily look at the Tripitaka, consisting of the Vinaya Pitaka, which lays out the rules for monastic life, the Sutta Pitaka, which includes the texts that are said to be the teachings of the Buddha, and the Abhidhama Pitaka, which lays out the ideas of the Suttas in a scholastic sort of way.
The Dalai Lama practices Vajrayana Buddhism. A little background is needed to say what this is. A type of Buddhism, referred to as Mahayana (the "Great Vehicle"), emerged with the evolution of Buddhist philosophy and thought. It is not my purpose for this discussion to go into legitimacy or origin of certain texts, so I will not expound much upon where the Mahayana canonical texts originated. A major thing stressed by Mahayana is the figure of the Bodhisattva; this, in short, is a person who vows to attain Buddhahood for the sake of all sentient beings. This messianic goal is said to arise from bodhicitta (the mindset that, from compassion, causes you to want to be a Buddha for the sake of all other beings). Mahayana Buddhists argue that becoming an Arhat is an incomplete attainment of enlightenment and that one must become a Bodhisattva to eventually attain Buddhahood for the sake of all beings. It is said, that from the moment of bodhicitta's arising in a practitioner and his or her taking of the Bodhisattva vows, it will take three incalculable eons to achieve Buddhahood (Three enormous periods of death and rebirth). There are some philisophical differences from Theravada here in that the idea of selflessness is extend to all symbolic constructs (Sunyata). Vajrayana, or Tantric Buddhism, is made for those who can not wait that long. This is for people that want to attain enlightenment in a very short period of time. Tantra is an esoteric tradition that is said to use Artful Means (a major idea in Mahayana) to speed the process along. Rather than deny and renounce one's poisons(those that an Arhat rids himself of), one uses their immense power and focuses it to produce profound results in meditation and realization in a relatively short period of time. This is done with the guidance of a teacher who is said to be accomplished in the Tantric ways, lest the practitioner wishes to be very misguided (possibly lose his mind). This is the form of Buddhism practiced by the Dalai Lama.
What is the significance of the name Dalai Lama?
It is a combination of Mongolian (Dalai) and Tibetan (Lama) that mean literally Ocean Guru or Ocean teacher.
The title comes from a Mongolian ruler, Altan Khan, after meeting the 2nd Tibetan Buddhist ruler Sonam Gyatso. But the 14th Dalai Lama has indicated that the Khan was not bestowing a title to Sonam Gyatso, but trying to translate Sonam Gyatso (which means Merit Ocean, which to me sounds a lot like a typical Buddhist Dharma name (a name someone takes when they become a monk or nun)) into Mongolian.
BTW the 14th Dalai Lama's name is Tenzin Gyatso (Dharma name) but was born Lhamo Dondrub. Tenzin, means Holder of Buddhist Doctrine.
What is the Dalai Lama doing now?
He continues to give teachings to Buddhists, he writes books, he deals with politicians regarding the situation in Tibet, he works for peace and tolerance in all countries and religions. He is also involved in discussions regarding science and religion.
