Researchers released a report this week revealing ultralow surface temperatures in East Antarctica that surpass the coldest temperatures ever recorded on the earths 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 20042016.
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.

Coldest naturally occurring temperatures
I was going to say, my ex-girl friend had a
colder shoulder than that...miffed with icicles on it.
Not for long.
So we must assume that CO2 levels drop dramatically during the cold Ice Age ?
If true, it gives justification to artificially raising the CO2 before the cold ice age returns.
Frightening.
More like standard issue bogus Breitbart headline.
It's the coldest recorded temperature - simply because we didn't have the sensors there before.
Woops! I was IN ERROR! He said it was -70 not -170.
WOOPS! I WAS IN ERROR! He said it was -70, not -170.
I am not surprised. The Prophet Al Gore (peace be upon him) warned us that Global Warming could cause planetary cooling.
I was wondering if more snow was falling there to counterbalance the melting at other areas along Antarctica, thus reducing the danger of sea level rise. On the other hand if it is cold enough to make dry ice, how long does that last and how would it affect total snow accumulation in that area?
That’s a good description of the effects cold weather.
We used to get 4 to 6 weeks of - 40 (F or C) or colder every winter, where I used to live (Canada’s far north). Coldest temperature, in which I spent the day outdoors, was - 59.5 F. You really need to wear a parka and scarf or Balaclava to keep from hurting your lungs. Unless you have a heated garage, you need to drive very slowly at first — because the tires have frozen flat spots. You’ll often need to engage 4-wheel drive to be able to move at all.
I’ve been thinking that Guantanamo prisoners could be incarcerated at a prison on an island in the Aleutian Arc. It might be a nice place for these desert inhabitants to reflect on their murderous sins.
At 11,500 feet the pressure is 19.41 inches https://www.omega.com/techref/pdf/Alt_Press_table.pdf which is 0.66 bar which means CO2 will sublimate at -85C http://www.chemicalogic.com/Documents/co2_phase_diagram.pdf or -121F
There is never liquid CO2 on earth.
cold enough to freeze Co2 out of the atmosphere ...
Well it is very hot here on the last day of June, but as I always tell those complaining about the heat - it must be colder than usual somewhere else if you/we are “hotter” than usual where we are.
Man, that’s colder than a witches tit with brass nipples.
Below -78 C there should be CO2 frost.
