The climate of Antarctica is the coldest on Earth, the lowest temperature ever recorded on Earth being 89.2 °C ( 128.6 °F) at Vostok Station.[1] It is also extremely dry (technically a desert), with an average of only 166 mm (6.5 in) of precipitation per year. Even so, on most parts of the continent the snow rarely melts and is eventually compressed to become the glacial ice that makes up the ice sheet. Weather fronts rarely penetrate far into the continent. Most of Antarctica has an ice cap climate (Köppen EF) with very cold, generally extremely dry weather throughout the year and no month averaging above 0 °C (32 °F). Some fringe coastal areas have a polar climate (Köppen ET) with a short summer averaging above freezing, and much higher precipitation.
