The record high temperature is 10F. I highly doubt you will ever see rain there lol. Not to mention that the year round average precipitation totals less than an inch.
Vostok Station is a Russian Antarctic research station. It is at the southern Pole of Cold, with the lowest reliably measured natural temperature on Earth of −89.2 °C (−128.6 °F). Research includes ice core drilling and magnetometry. Vostok (Russian for "East") is named after the ship of Fabian von Bellingshausen, an Antarctic pioneer.
Vostok is the World Pole of Cold. During the long winter, temperatures average about −65 °C (−85 °F); in the brief summer, about −30 °C (−25 °F). Vostok would also be classified as a polar desert, as it receives only 0.819 inches (20.8 millimetres) of precipitation per year.
This climate is bitterly cold all year round, and has very little precipitation. The occasionally high wind velocities would make the weather even more intolerable.
F
I love cold weather....however
To the people who voted this anything but F, you have no idea what you are talking about. This is an uninhabitable environment 6 months a year. This poll is silly really as nobody can really LIVE here.
