0. This new 21-footer is a conventional center console at first glance, with a large storage box forward, four fishboxes in the deck, and aft storage compartments. The fishboxes drain right through holes in the boat's hull, and have plugs to keep water out when the boxes are in use.
Antarctica holds the record for the coldest temperature ever observed on Earth: at Vostok, on July 21, 1983, with -129 degrees F (-89.4 degrees C). December 1999 was the coldest December ever recorded at the South Pole with an average monthly temperature of -26 degrees F (-32 degrees C).
Although the ground at the South Pole is close to sea level, the thick ice at that location raises the station to an altitude of 9,300 feet (2,835 meters). And because the earth's rotation causes the atmosphere to thin out at the poles, the air pressure is more like at 11,000 feet.ntarctica is (for obvious reasons) the least-visited continent, and the South Pole is (because it is not accessible by sea) the least-visited site in Antarctica that is nominally open to tourism. Most expeditions take place in November thru January, during the Antarctic summer/day.
