Antarctica averages minus 55°C at Vostok Station, yet a Lake Ontario-sized body of water remains liquid beneath four kilometres of ice for fifteen million years
- Antarctica is the coldest continent on Earth, featuring a deadly combination of extreme temperatures, high elevation and ice-covered terrain.
- The Russian Vostok Station here averages minus 55°C and on July 21, 1983, it recorded the lowest reliably measured air temperature on Earth, −89.2°C.
- Yet sealed beneath the white ice sheets of the region is a hidden ocean-sized lake that challenges the human understanding of life's limits and nature's magic.
