It's a cold cold world

Or Antarctica. -93.2 degress (or -136 F for you imperialists).

What is the coldest place on Earth? Scientists say it's a place so cold that ordinary mercury or alcohol thermometers won't work there. If you were there, every breath would be painful, your clothing would crackle every time you moved, and if you threw hot water into the air, it would fall to the ground as tiny shards of ice. At this place, the new record of minus 136 F (minus 93.2 C) was set on Aug. 10, 2010. Researchers analyzed data from several satellite instruments and found the coldest place on Earth in the past 32 years is … a high ridge in Antarctica between Dome Argus and Dome Fuji, two summits on the ice sheet known as the East Antarctic Plateau. Temperatures in several hollows were found to dip to the new record.

that is rather cold. I've lived in the land of -40F (not counting windchill). It's nippy if you dress for it.

I'm not quite sure that I ever had gear to handle -130F though.
