« Science tells us: REVOLT! | Main | November 2013 is the Earth's warmest on record. »

And boy is it cold down there!

Ice scientist Ted Scambos at the National Snow and Ice Data Center said the new record is 50 degrees colder than anything that has ever been seen in Alaska or Siberia or certainly North Dakota. "It's more like you'd see on Mars on a nice summer day in the poles, Scambos said, from the American Geophysical Union scientific meeting in San Francisco Monday, where he announced the data. "I'm confident that these pockets are the coldest places on Earth. However, it won't be in the Guinness Book of World Records -- or recognized by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the official keepers of world weather records -- because the readings were measured by satellites, not from thermometers, Scambos said."

Oh yes...how cold did they measure it?

-137 Fahrenheit.

Cold enough for you?!
