Lowest temperature ever recorded

The lowest temperature ever officially recorded on Earth was -89.2°C, measured at Vostok Station in Antarctica on July 21, 1983. This extreme temperature remains unbeaten, showcasing the severe and inhospitable conditions of the Antarctic region. Vostok Station, situated deep within the Antarctic Ice Sheet, is one of the coldest places on the planet. The record highlights the harsh environment that scientists continue to study for insights into climate patterns, weather, and glaciology. It serves as a reminder of the incredible extremes Earth can experience in its most remote and frigid areas.
