Correct Answer : Vostok Station
The world record for low temperature was set at Vostok Station, Antarctica, on 21 July 1983. Cerveny et al. (2007) give this temperature as -89.4°C in their Table 2, quoting Krause and Flood (1997), who gave the same value. However, the actual reported temperature was -89.2°C, as shown in the logbook of monthly summaries, which I photographed at the Vostok weather office in January 1991. The error in Krause and Flood (1997) was probably the result of a conversion from Celsius to Fahrenheit and rounding to -129°F, then back-conversion to Celsius.
