How cold is the Arctic?

The coldest temperature in the Arctic was-70 ° C. The lowest temperature recorded in Vilhoyansk, Siberia, was-70 ° C, and the temperature in the Prospektor region of Alaskan was-62 ° C. Winter in the Arctic lasted for six months from November to April, with an average temperature of-20 ° C to-40 ° C. The average temperature in August, the warmest month, was only-8 ° C. The lowest temperature ever measured at a drifting station near the Arctic Pole was-59 ° C. However, the coldest place in the Arctic was not in the Central Arctic Ocean, but in specific areas of Siberia and Alaskan.

The winter in the Arctic was very cold, and the temperature could drop to-50 ° C. According to the literature provided, the average temperature in the Arctic ranged from-20 ° C to-40 ° C, and the average temperature in August, the warmest month, only reached-8 ° C. At the drifting station near the Arctic Ocean, the lowest temperature was-59 ° C. In addition, the lowest temperature recorded in Vilhoyansk, Siberia, was-70 ° C, while the Prospektor region of Alaskan had recorded a temperature of-62 ° C. Although most of the Arctic was ocean, and the temperature of the sea would not be lower than-2 ° C, the winter in the Arctic was still very cold. Therefore, it could be said that the Arctic was one of the coldest places in the world.

The coldest temperature in the Arctic was-70 ° C. Temperatures of-70 ° C were recorded in Vilhoyansk and Oymyakon in Siberia, and-63 ° C was recorded in the Yuukon River region of Alaskan. The lowest temperature measured at the drifting station near the Arctic Pole was-59 ° C.

The coldest temperature in the Arctic was-70 ° C. Low temperatures like this had been recorded in Vilhoyansk, Siberia, and the Yukonsk River region of Alaskan. Winter in the Arctic lasted for six months from November to April. There were only July and August in summer. The average temperature in January was between-20 ° C and-40 ° C, and the warmest month, August, only reached-8 ° C. The lowest temperature measured at a drifting station near the Arctic Pole was-59 ° C. In summary, the coldest temperature in the Arctic was-70 ° C.

The South Pole was even colder. The average temperature in the Antarctic was about-48.9 degrees Celsius, which was 1.7 degrees Celsius lower than the average temperature in the Arctic. The lowest temperature in the South Pole was-89.2 degrees Celsius, while the lowest temperature in the North Pole was-68 degrees Celsius. There were two reasons why the temperature in the Antarctic was relatively low. One was that the Antarctic observatory was built on a plateau with a high altitude. The air was thin and it was difficult to retain the heat of the solar radiation. The other was that the Antarctic was surrounded by the ocean and was an absolute ice and snow continent. Most of the Arctic was ocean. The specific heat capacity of seawater was much larger than that of land and could absorb more heat. Therefore, the South Pole was relatively colder.

The South Pole was even colder. The average temperature in the Antarctic was about-48.9 degrees Celsius, which was 1.7 degrees Celsius lower than the average temperature in the Arctic. Antarctica was a region without four seasons, only warm and cold seasons. In the warm season, the average temperature in the Antarctic rarely exceeded 0 ° C, while in the cold season, the temperature in the coastal areas was around-28 ° C. In addition, the altitude of the South Pole was higher, and the air was thin. It was difficult to store heat, causing the South Pole to be colder. Therefore, based on the information provided, it could be concluded that the South Pole was colder than the North Pole.

The South Pole was even colder. The South Pole was a continent, while the North Pole was an ocean. The land of the South Pole was harder to store heat than the ocean, and the altitude of the South Pole was much higher than that of the North Pole. In addition, the North Atlantic warm current flowed into the Arctic, while the westerly circulation around the Antarctic prevented the warm currents from flowing in. Therefore, the temperature in the South Pole was lower than that in the North Pole.

The South Pole was even colder. The average temperature in the Antarctic was about-48.9 degrees Celsius, which was 1.7 degrees Celsius lower than the average temperature in the Arctic. The reason for the lower temperature in the Antarctic was that the observatory was built on a plateau with a higher altitude. The air was thin and it was difficult to retain the heat of the solar radiation. The geological structure and ocean currents around the Antarctic also caused the climate in the Antarctic region to be colder. The temperature of the sea in the Arctic was relatively high due to the warm currents flowing into the Arctic Ocean, so it was relatively not as cold as the South Pole. Therefore, the South Pole was colder than the North Pole.

The coldest temperature in the Arctic was-70 ° C. The lowest temperature recorded in Vilhoyansk, Siberia, was-70 ° C, and the temperature in the Prospektor region of Alaskan was-62 ° C.

The coldest temperature in the North Pole Village was-50 degrees Celsius.
