1*C - -32*C i think :/

Another Answer

On the continent, water remains liquid down to 32 degrees F, when it freezes. In the ocean around the continent, because of the saline and other minerals in the water, it remains liquid to about 27 degrees F.
Well, lets do the math. The ozone layer is about -39. As you get higher in altitude, it gets colder. The ozone layer is about 15 miles above the ground. The temperature drops by 1 degree every 1,100 feet. There are 5,280 feet in a mile, times that by fifteen, you get 79,200. Divide that by 1,100 you get 72. Add -39 and 72, you get 33. The water gets colder by about 20 degrees. So, 33-20=13. 13 degrees, if I did the math right! The math is good but the reasoning is flawed: At 13 F the sea water would be frozen solid. Since sea water freezes at around 28 F or -2 C, I'm going to say that it is, at the very coldest, at least 28 F or -2 C. Since ocean currents drop off warm water from the warmer latitudes, the water is generally going to be warmer than that.

Is the water always cold in Antarctica?

The Southern Ocean that surrounds Antarctica can support liquid water temperatures to about 27 degrees F, below which the water is frozen. You can decide if this makes the water 'cold'.

How do krills live in such a cold place like antarctica?

Krill are a sea animal and live in water, which is their natural habitat. Water remains liquid to about 28-32 degrees F. The ambient temperature in Antarctica is generally colder, but since the krill live in the warmer water, the extreme cold of Antarctica has no effect on them.


How do you stop water from freezing in Antarctica?

Believe it or not, you can keep water protected in Antarctica by keeping it in a fridge. The temperature is so cold that a fridge could keep it safe from freezing.


How cold is the Antarctic water?

Liquid water in the Southern Ocean that surrounds Antarctica can be as cold as 28 degrees F, because of its high mineral content.
