Apparently, according to YahooNews, researchers seeking the best possible place to locate a space observatory have pinpointed the coldest, driest, calmest place on Earth. Ridge A, 13, 297 feet up on the Antarctic Plateau, averages temperatures of minus 94˚F. But it's dry cold, and it boasts "very little atmospheric turbulence." As a bonus, no human has ever set foot there.
In related news, scientists have also pinpointed the warmest, moistest, least calm place on Earth and it is my son at bedtime.
Needless to say, I am dreaming of a weekend trip to Ridge A.

You're totally lying about point B. I know, because I know where the warmest, wettest, most turbulent place on earth is: Henry's diaper.
LOL!
very funny, and i have to add that another of the wettest warmest places on earth is the mass that is currently clinging to me and crying her eyes out...
Yeah, but then everyone would want to be there and it would be just as noisy. . . and COLD.
