01 / Overview

The 3 Coldest Places in the World 1. Antarctica: Located at the southernmost tip of the Earth, it is a continent covered in ice and snow. The average temperature is -25 ℃, and the average temperature in inland plateau areas can reach -52 ℃. As the coldest place in Antarctica, Dongfang Station has recorded an extremely cold temperature of -89.2 ℃. 2. Oymyakon, Russia: located in East Siberia, Russia, at latitude 63.27 ° N and longitude 142.77 ° E. The annual average temperature is about -16 ℃, and the average temperature in the coldest month is close to -50 ℃. The recorded extreme lowest temperature in history is -71.2 ℃. 3. Verkhoyansk, Russia: located in the northeast of Siberia, within the Arctic Circle. The average temperature in winter is below -40 ℃, and the lowest temperature has reached -70 ℃.

02 / How visitors use it

The unit is designed for unsupervised public use: controls are recessed or shielded, moving parts are enclosed, and the interface is operable by a child of about six with no instruction. Where a screen is used, the language can be switched without changing the hardware, and the content can be replaced on site.

03 / The science behind it

1. The three coldest places in the world: Antarctica East Station (lowest temperature -89.2 ℃, recorded in 1983), Oymyakon (lowest temperature -67.8 ℃, recorded in February 1933), and Verkhoyansk (lowest temperature -69.8 ℃, recorded in February 1892). two There is a special type of snow algae in Antarctica - polar snow algae. Snow algae have the ability of photosynthesis. Under different lighting conditions, their cells synthesize substances called carotenoids, which appear in different colors such as red, orange, or yellow. This is one of the reasons for the formation of watermelon snow, which creates patches of red or pink colors on the snow field. three Organisms living in extremely cold environments: ① tardigrades can survive for several days in extremely low temperatures of minus 200 ℃; They can also survive for 2 minutes at extreme temperatures of minus 272 ℃ and 181 ℃. ② Living in the Antarctic Ocean.

04 / Built for a public floor

Every unit leaves the factory after a running test: mechanisms cycled, electronics burned in, edges dressed, fixings torqued and marked. Wear parts — bearings, sliders, lamps, belts, touch panels — are modular and listed on the spare-part sheet, so a venue technician can replace them without returning the exhibit. Crating is plywood with foam blocking; the loading plan and packing list travel with the shipment.
