Weather in Unusual Places

It can be interesting using the National Weather Service Internet Weather Source to find out what the weather is like in far flung regions of the world.
For instance, the South Pole recently recorded a windchill of -171°F (-85°C)! :froze:

There is -85 on the South Pole???

WoW. That's COLD!!! Haha. I wonder how a person could even survive in such cold. Your sweat must freeze on your forehead. And what about in your lungs? :-S Surely you can't breathe properly.
