worst climate in the world for you outside of Antarctica.. (record, temperatures)

[VTMonzstarr]

Anywhere in Northern VT. Only Minnesota, Chicago, N.Dakota and Detroit receive equal days below freezing and more inches of snow every yr. You would think due to this intense Winter we would receive very mild summer heat, and you would be wrong. The sun seems to never shine for 8 months out of the yr. On a good note, i must admit mid to late May is the best.

Taking out any out of the ordinary location such as Antarctica,
I would say any location in an oceanic type of climate.

No sun. Rains all year long. Only benefit is there are no temperature extremes.

Then again, great climate is subjective. Some people were born to live in the snow, some in the desert.
Just find what's right for you.

For instance, my favorite climate type is continental. Very hot summers and ice cold winters.
Most people can't stand it.

Anywhere in New England in the Winter. The place is Cold and Expensive to live.

Places like Barrow and any subarctic island, such as St Paul, Macquarie, Orkney, Faroes, Svalbards etc. I would actually prefer places with extreme cold winters, but with respectable summers and sunshine hours to look forward to. In those subarctic islands, there is no warmth or sunshine to compensate for the winter.

just as hostile as many parts of interior antarctica...

Anything extremely hot where 40C temperatures occur with regularity: Dubai, Mecca, Riyadh, Niger, Chad etc. as well as anywhere with extreme lack of warmth and sunshine e.g. Faeroes, Shetland, Aleutian Islands.

Hard to decide which type of climate is more repugnant.

Cold alright, but about 18C warmer than Scott-Amundsen and 26C warmer than Vostok.

yupp. thats what i meant with "many stations" instead of "all stations". most parts of central antarctica is significantly warmer than those two stations.

How is the 118 inches of precipitation noted in the wiki article possible on a polar ice cap? In the year-long expedition to Eismitte, also in central Greenland, there was only 4.33 inches...
