Photo by daisygilardini | When I tell people I’m going to Antarctica, one of the most common comments I get is, "Brrrrr, too cold for me." It’s true that the interior of Antarctica can be extremely cold. The plateau in the interior holds the record for the lowest temperature recorded on Earth, at minus 89.2°C (-128.5°F), at Vostok Station in 1983. The average yearly temperature on the Antarctic coast, however, is a relatively balmy minus 10°C (14°F).
I usually visit Antarctica during the warmer months, from October to March. Temperatures average between minus 5°C and 5°C (23-41°F) during this period. The weather is very unpredictable and localized, and it is influenced by accelerating katabatic winds that blow off the plateau down to the coast. Cloud formations are simply spectacular because of these winds.
