Ever wondered about what the lowest temperature on
\nEarth can be? It seems as if AGU (Advancing Earth and
\nSpace Science) has found the answer to that question!
\nWhile we know that 1984 the lowest temperature was…<\/p>\n
-89.2\u00b0C (-129\u00b0F) measured at Vostok Station in Antarctica (air temperature), the new measure method was measuring -98\u00b0C (temperature on ice surface) at a glacier with 3800 to 4050 metres elevation above sea level. So given that temperature the scientists say that the air temperature might be at -94\u00b0C\u00b14\u00b0C (-137\u00b0F\u00b16\u00b0F) which would mean that the temperature of the air would range betwen -90\u00b0C (-130\u00b0F) and -98\u00b0C (-144\u00b0F).<\/p>\n
If you’re outside, exposed skin parts would already freeze at -50\u00b0C (-58\u00b0F) and an exposure to that temperature for more than half an hour would lower your chances to survive below 10%! So imagine what -98\u00b0C do mean to someone being exposed to such low temperatures.<\/p>\n Although the measurement method captured over 100 events with temperatures at -98\u00b0C at these regions, the record as such has not been accepted, meaning that the Vostok station record from 1984 is still the official deep freeze record on earth ever measured.<\/p>\n If you’re interested, you might want to read the full story here:<\/p>\n https:\/\/agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1029\/2018GL078133<\/p>\n Oh and if you’re freezing, you might think of the place with the highest temperature:<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/blog.netspark.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Vostok-Station.jpg\")
