This is the coldest place on Earth under natural conditions. The coldest place on Earth was in a physics experiment at a temperature of 50 nK. This was touted as the coldest place in the universe. --Gene

"A team of researchers has presented the coldest ever recorded temperature on Earth: minus 136 degrees Fahrenheit (or, minus 93.2 Celsius)" www.csmonitor.com/Science/2013/1210/How-cold-is-the-coldest-place-on-Earth

The interesting thing about this is that dry ice (froen carbon dioxide) forms at -78.5C (-109.3F) at Earth atmospheric pressures. Mars has a carbon dioxide seasonal "ice" cap. It would now appear that the Earth does too.
