What is the coldest place on Earth?
Lowest temperature recorded on Earth
The lowest natural temperature ever directly recorded at ground level on Earth is −89.2°C (−128.6°F; 184.0K) at the Soviet Vostok Station in Antarctica on July 21, 1983 by ground measurements.[1]
Wildlife of Antarctica
Around 98% of continental Antarctica is covered in ice up to thick. Antarctica's icy deserts have extremely low temperatures, high solar radiation, and extreme dryness. Any precipitation that does fall usually falls as snow, and is restricted to a band around from the coast. Some areas receive as little as 50mm of precipitation annually. The coldest temperature recorded on Earth was at Vostok Station on the Antarctic Plateau. Organisms that survive in Antarctica are often extremophiles.
