SHE SHIVERS | 0:00:03 | 0:00:04 | |
I can't be the only person feeling this cold. Colin, what's going on? | 0:00:04 | 0:00:08 | |
Ms Hucklebuck won't turn the heating on. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:10 | |
She says she doesn't feel the cold. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:12 | |
Wee... Weee... Oohhh... | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
Hey! Ice pops for everyone. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
99s, Chilly Willies, Shivery Jaws. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:22 | |
Really? In this cold? Argh... | 0:00:22 | 0:00:25 | |
BELL RINGS | 0:00:26 | 0:00:27 | |
Positions, everybody! | 0:00:27 | 0:00:29 | |
'This is Brain Freeze. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:32 | |
'With Dr Knowles, | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
'Professor McCork, | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
'Colin, the floor manager | 0:00:38 | 0:00:41 | |
'and Ms Hucklebuck. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
'STAND BY.' | 0:00:43 | 0:00:45 | |
Come on, everybody. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
-TOGETHER: -It's time for... | 0:00:50 | 0:00:51 | |
Today, we're asking, where is the coldest habitable place on earth? | 0:00:54 | 0:00:58 | |
Humans are most comfortable at temperatures | 0:00:58 | 0:01:00 | |
between 20 and 26 degrees Celsius, or room temperature. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:04 | |
We all know that the boiling point of water is 100 degrees | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
and its freezing point is zero degrees. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:11 | |
That's quite a drop. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
But did you know that shampoo freezes at -3 degrees, | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
sunflower oil at -17 and mercury at -39? | 0:01:16 | 0:01:21 | |
And if you thought that was cold, did you know that the lowest | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
temperature ever recorded on earth was 93 degrees below zero? | 0:01:24 | 0:01:29 | |
It's true. This record low was measured in a shallow pocket | 0:01:29 | 0:01:33 | |
just off a high ridge on the East Antarctic plateau. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:36 | |
-Oh, that sounds like a pretty chilly place to live. -Oh, no. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:40 | |
It's way too cold for anyone to live there. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
If you exposed your skin, it would freeze in seconds. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
Ugh. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
HE SHIVERS | 0:01:48 | 0:01:50 | |
PENGUIN TOOTS | 0:01:50 | 0:01:51 | |
To find out about the coldest habitable place on earth, | 0:01:51 | 0:01:55 | |
join us after this break. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
And we're clear! | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
Do you know what? I have to say, Colin, this is a great way | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
to keep your hands warm. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
SHE SHIVERS | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
What is wrong with everyone here? Do I have to do everything myself? | 0:02:07 | 0:02:11 | |
ARGH. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:12 | |
Hello? | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
HELLO? | 0:02:17 | 0:02:19 | |
-Yes? -Ms Hucklebuck, I demand that you turn on the heating. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:23 | |
My legs are about to freeze. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
What's that, dear? You lost your keys? | 0:02:26 | 0:02:28 | |
-No, no. -Your cat's got fleas? -No. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
Ah, you want some cheese. Why didn't you say so? | 0:02:31 | 0:02:35 | |
Cheese?! What the... | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
SHE GROANS | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
-There we go. -BELL RINGS | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
No, what I... | 0:02:42 | 0:02:43 | |
THUD | 0:02:43 | 0:02:44 | |
So, tell us, Dr Knowles, where is the coldest habitable place | 0:02:48 | 0:02:52 | |
on earth? Apart from here, obviously. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
In the past, the two Siberian towns of Oymyakon and Verkhoyansk | 0:02:54 | 0:02:59 | |
have both measured temperatures of a bone-chilling -67.8 degrees. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:04 | |
But how would you stay warm there? | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
-The trick is to dress yourself like an onion. -Like an onion? | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
The more thin layers of air you trap between your body | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
and the outside, the warmer you will get. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
-I get it, not literally a bulb onion. -No, Professor. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:24 | |
See you next time, folks. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:25 | |
SHE SHIVERS | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
Hey, Dr Knowles, come here. Look what we finished - | 0:03:32 | 0:03:34 | |
-you have to see this. -Oh, what is it now? | 0:03:34 | 0:03:38 | |
HE LAUGHS | 0:03:38 | 0:03:39 | |
You guys! | 0:03:39 | 0:03:40 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:03:40 | 0:03:42 | |
And there's room for one more! | 0:03:42 | 0:03:44 | |
Oh, go on, then. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:46 | |
-Oh, you're taking up the sleeve. -No, no, stop. I want to go this way. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:51 | |
-I want to go over this way. -Ah, it's these tender moments | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
that make it all worthwhile. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:56 | |
HE FARTS | 0:03:56 | 0:03:57 | |
Whoops! Maybe that was a bit too tender! Phwoar! | 0:03:57 | 0:04:00 | |
No, stop. I want to go this way. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:04 | |
-Don't pull me that way. -Get off! | 0:04:04 | 0:04:06 |
