The Coldest Place On Earth
The movie, “To Build a Fire,” which is based on Jack London’s short story, led me to pick this topic because I wanted to know what is the coldest place on earth. The Canadian Klondike made me think was there a place colder than that and do people live in this type of weather. So I asked myself three questions’ relating to this topic, which is The Coldest Place On Earth.
One of the three questions I asked myself was “Does it be cold during the summertime?” The information I got for that question was that it feels like winter throughout most of the year. They claim the hottest it has been in Russian research station in Vostok was like 0-65 degrees. I really want to know how long do people live in this kind of weather and survive.
The Russian research stain in Vostok had the lowest degrees in the world so it mad me ask another question which was “what was the lowest degree there?” The lowest temperature ever recorded there was -128.6 degrees Fahrenheit on July 21, 1983. Then I was like that’s to cold too even try to do something, which made me think how hard was it to survive when it was that cold. It really don’t give me that much detail on how they survived but they did say it was very difficult to survive because you are in the middle of Antarctica.
