Coldest place on earth?
The coldest place on earth is a site known as the RIDGE A it is nearly 14,000 meters high and is located deep within the The Antarctic Plateau. It has an average winter temperature of minus 94 degrees Fahrenheit ( minus 70 degrees Celsius) It is so remote that it is thought that no human has ever set foot there. Information was obtained from the "Telegraph" Jan.28,2011. The record for the coldest recorded place on earth is Vostok Station Antarctia where the Temperature reached -129 degrees F (-89.4 C ) on 21 July 1983.This information was published by Russian scientist who worked at the station during the summer of 1983 their instrumentation and and methodology are somewhat suspect, considering they did not have the instrumentation that is avaiable today 28 years later. FM 21-76 SURVIVAL Dept. of the Army Field Manual was published in October 1970. That was 41 years ago, I believe more up to date information is avaiable today. regard's, tom kelly
