O pico de Argus foi confirmado ontem como o local mais frio da terra. Terá atingido 91,2ºC negativos no dia 10 de agosto de 2010.
O dióxido de carbono transforma-se em gelo seco aos 78,5ºC negativos.
O pico de Argus é também o local mais alto do continente gelado aos 4091 metros e situa-se na cordilheira Gambourtsev na parte australiana do continente.
«And researchers say there are probably even colder spots - with the satellite only averaging the temperature over a square kilometre.
'It is likely that record cold sites identified by the data have small areas within them that are significantly colder than the grid cell mean,' said a data centre researcher in a published summary of the findings.»
