Scientists have discovered the coldest place on Earth - where the air temperature below -91C.
The newly-found spot - situated along an Antarctic mountain ridge - could freeze a human's eyes, nose and lungs within minutes.
Spot on Antarctic mountain ridge sees temperatures of below -91C
This is because its temperature is almost 13 degrees below the point at which CO2 transforms from a gas into dry ice (-78.5C).
The record-breaking discovery was made by researchers from America's National Snow and Ice Data Centre,

Record-breaking: Scientists have discovered the coldest place on Earth along an Antarctic mountain ridge - where the temperature plummets to below a deadly -91C |
This is because its temperature is almost 13 degrees below the point at which CO2 transforms from a gas into dry ice (-78.5C).
