Scientists claimed that they have found the coldest place on Earth with a temperature of negative 93.2 Celsius or negative 135.8 Fahrenheit on August 10, 2010 at the center of Antarctica.

Previous to this record, the lowest was in the Russian Vostok base, also in Antarctica. It was a record of negative 89.2 Celsius. In comparison, the coldest in our solar system most probably would be on a planet's darkest cavities, where the atmosphere is far from friendly. On the moon, the lowest recorded is negative 238 Celsius.

“I’ve never been in conditions that cold and I hope I never am. I am told that every breath is painful and you have to be extremely careful not to freeze part of your throat or lungs when inhaling, “said Dr. Ted Scambos , senior research scientist for the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC).

Scambos and his fellow researchers have gathered measurements from orbiting satellites in the Polar Regions for three decades. They have discovered that the coldest temperatures occur during the darkest winters in the Antarctic's highly elevated regions. The air at those peaks is immensely clear and dry which lets the heat get siphoned efficiently into outer space.

However, they clarified that the records they have are not yet final. They still need to adjust these measurements since they were using multiple satellite thermal sensors—the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instruments on NASA's Terra and Aqua satellites and the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) on several National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration satellites.

They are also expecting that the temperatures will still become lower as they were able to measure only the "skin temperature" which is two meters from the surface. They believe that the ground level will record a lower temperature.

“The research bases there don’t have people that stay through the winter to make temperature measurements,” Scambos said. “We will need to investigate electronics that can survive those temperatures.”
