Scientists Observe Coldest Temperatures Ever on Earth’s Surface

Researchers released a report this week revealing “ultralow surface temperatures” in East Antarctica that surpass the coldest temperatures ever recorded on the earth’s surface.

The lowest measured air temperature on earth is −89.2 °C (−129 F) on 23 July 1983, observed at Vostok Station in Antarctica, but new data published in Geophysical Research Letters this week, has found that some 100 different locations on the East Antarctic Plateau reached temperatures of -98° C (-144° F) during the Antarctic polar night between 2004–2016.

A team from the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) at the University of Colorado Boulder have identified the East Antarctic Plateau — a massive, empty expanse the size of Australia that begins near the South Pole — as the coldest place on the planet.

Not possible. This is the hottest it has ever been in the history of condescension.

Global warming causes record cold temperatures. Trust the scientists. They have a huge grant to spend your tax dollars in justifying panic legislation. Would they lie to you?

At -78.5°C the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will deposit as carbon dioxide "snow".

Coldest temperatures ever??? Prove it. Now we have false science.

Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide. A block of dry ice has a surface temperature of -109.3 degrees Fahrenheit (-78.5 degrees C). Dry ice also has the very nice feature of sublimation — as it breaks down, it turns directly into carbon dioxide gas rather than a liquid.

Could this be ANOTHER way of dealing with extra carbon dioxide, that we didn’t think “Gaia” was cool enough to have on her polar sleeve? Just musing. Imagine an encrustation of dry ice near the pole(s).

Yes it would! We’ve been used to thinking about that on Mars, but not on old Terra.

"I was sure, before reading the details, that this was about Chappaqua NY. "

Hillary was in Europe when the readings were taken.

What’s more, as this stuff accumulates, it will serve as an insulator and albedo enhancer.

This article is incorrect. A few weeks ago it was - 459F in our lab at work. And that helium still wasn’t frozen.

Sublimation like Mt. Killamanjaro snow vanishing? Yeah surely the spelling is wrong. 👹🍻🍿👍🏼

Stupid helium. Doesn’t know how to behave.

If the areas of frozen CO2 later rose in temperature above the sublimation point, yes. The reverse process of sublimation is called deposition.

One has to get very pushy with helium to get a solid (i.e. above 20 atmospheres).

Frozen carbon dioxide on Earth?

That’s cool.

Can't have been -144° F.

It was -129 F on July 23, 1983. The science is settled. /s

Meter sticks at -144

There's probably a $50 attachment for a smart phone that can go lower.
