Fairbanks Alaska is colder than most parts of Antarctica. At -50F it takes only about a minute to freeze the skin.
At what temp. will the human skin freeze in an enviroment like antarctica?
it all depends on exposure time. Here are a few examples:
frostbite will take approximately 30mins.if the wind chill factor is -18 degrees farenheit
frostbite will take approximately 10mins.if the wind chill factor is -32 degrees farenheit
frostbite will take approximately 5mins.if the wind chill factor is -48 degrees farenheit
As far as ambient temperature goes, freezing could occur just below 32 degrees, but it's highly unlikely.
