The coldest place on Earth has been measured to be minus 93.2 Celsius, or -135.8F, according to the Associated Press.

The temperature was measured in Antarctica and recorded on Aug. 10, 2010. The previous low was minus 89.2C, also measured in Antarctica, back in 1983.

In comparison, on Dec. 9, the coldest temperature recorded was 27 degrees below zero Fahrenheit in Yellowstone, Wyoming, according to meteorologist Jeff Masters.

"It's more like you'd see on Mars on a nice summer day in the poles," said Ted Scambos from the US National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colorado. "I'm confident that these pockets are the coldest places on Earth."

The record won't be in the Guinness Book of World Records however since it was measured by using a satellite, not thermometers, according to AP.

"I'd caution Guinness not to take this result and put it in their world record book just yet, because I think the numbers will probably adjust over the coming year," Scambos said according to BBC News. "However, I'm now confident we know where the coldest places on Earth are, and why they are there."

Scambos and his collages have been studying data records from polar orbiting satellites for over 30 years.

The experts find that the coldest temperatures take place in Antarctica in the winter months at high elevations where dry and clear air lets heat radiate "very efficient" out into space.

On Earth's Moon, temperatures of minus 238C have been recorded, according to BBC News.
