Antarctica: The Coldest Continent on Earth

Yes. Antarctica holds the record for the lowest natural temperature ever recorded: −89.2 °C (−128.6 °F) at Soviet Vostok Station (July 21, 1983). It is also the driest (polar desert), windiest (katabatic winds >320 km/h), and highest average elevation (2,500 m) continent. No permanent residents; only research stations.
