The coldest temperature ever recorded was -89.2 C (-128.6 F) on July 21st 1983
Antarctica is the coldest place on earth
The warmest temperature was +15 C (+59 F) on January 1974
Antarctic has 2 seasons Winter from 20th March when the sun heads north and summer when the sun heads south.
In summer Antarctica has no sun is dark the whole time
Average temperature is 55-C (WOW THAT IS CHILLY)
The Continent is much higher than sea level
In the summer the sky is lower in Antarctica than it is in other countries so it does not receive much heat. Witch helps the ice last a whole last longer.
Temperatures vary enormously throughout the Antarctica according to proximately to the coast, elevation, wind chill factors and the season.
Scientist in Antarctica investigates climate change by examining the fossil gases dissolved in the ice at different depths. By drilling down and extracting a solid core of ice, they can study an ice timeline. Near Australia’s Casey base, deep drilling program in 1993 produced ice core 1200 metres long, before hitting bedrock. The core revealed atoms pheric records from the past 15 000 years. Some ice core records date back to 420 000 years ago.
There are many blizzards in Antarctica!
If you get caught in a blizzard without cover it could be fatal.
The extreme winds can snap rope tip over planes, so you have to way it down.
