The
lowest temperature recorded on Earth - a temperature of -129 F (officially -128.6 F) - occurred on July 21,
1983, at Russia's Vostok Station in Antarctica. This is not a wind chill temperature, but the actual temperature of the air. The South Pole is more than 9,000 feet above sea level, but Vostok is more than 2,000 feet higher, and this difference is elevation is enough to make Vostok colder.
