Second record: The coldest temperature ever measured on Earth was at Vostok, a negative 89 degrees Celsius (-128°F). In the picture, boiling water is thrown into the air; it freezes before hitting ground; however, this picture is still 100°F warmer than it was in Vostok. In Vostok, the boiling water would have been a block of ice immediately after leaving the cup.
