Facts that feel right in your bones, even if they might completely fall apart under a microscope.

There's a place on Earth that's colder than Antarctica - Apparently.

In the East Antarctic Plateau, there's a region called the Plateau Station that holds the record for the lowest temperature ever recorded on Earth. On July 21, 1983, the temperature dropped to a chilling -128.6°F (-89.2°C). This extreme cold snap was caused by a combination of the plateau's high elevation and its unique geography, which creates a "cold trap" effect. This record has been verified by the World Meteorological Organization and remains one of the most extreme weather events ever recorded.
