-40 centigrade is -40 farhenheit.
No need to go to the Antartic for those temps - I've spent time in much colder weather in MN (-64F is my coldest). I remember one 10 day period in January 1980 where the high temp during that stretch was -20...
Of course - the Antartic has the drama of nothing but ice...
