Dear Sal, 

First of all, the temperatures in Antarctica vary greatly depending 
on the location in Antarctica.  For instance, here at Palmer we 
experience warmer temperatures than most other places in Antarctica, 
with the average high temperature at about +36 F and the average low 
about +14 F.

In contrast, at South Pole the average high temperarture is about -30F
and the average low temperature is about -80F.  South Pole is
considered the coldest spot on the continent.
