A photo from open sources PHOTO: AFP New minimum record temperatures recorded by scientists in Antarctica. He appeared immediately on two degrees lower than the previous one and amounted to -91.2 ° С. In such conditions a person’s eyes and lungs can freeze in a couple of minutes, notes The Daily Mail. The discovery was made by scientists from the American national center for snow and ice data using satellites and other modern methods for measuring temperature in The Arctic. The cold pole on Earth, as it turned out, is located on 3779 m high on the ice dome of Fuji in the eastern part of the Earth Queen Maud. The temperature at -91.2 ° С was recorded on the dome, which is 13 degrees below the point at which carbon dioxide passes dry ice. The previous record, -89.2 ° С, was recorded in 1983 by Soviet scientists on research station “Vostok”. At the same time, American scientists don’t exclude that there are even colder places, since the surface temperature was taken as the basis of the record whole dome. “It is likely that in small areas the temperature is much lower than average, “one of authors of the study. Recall, the north pole of the cold is near the village of Oymyakon in Yakutia. The lowest temperature recorded there is -71.2 ° C. January average temperature this year it was -50 ° С in Oymyakon.
