Antarctica's Concordia Station hit minus 119.4°F, its coldest temperature in 16 years

Antarctica's Concordia Research Station recorded its coldest temperature in sixteen years on July eighteenth. This extreme cold was caused by polar winter and high elevation conditions. The station sits atop the East Antarctic Plateau, far from ocean influences. Meteorologists attribute the deep freeze to a persistent high-pressure system. Such measurements offer valuable insights into Earth's climate system.
