Description

The coldest temperature ever recorded. A lake sealed under the ice for 15 million years. And an estimated 511 billion barrels of oil sitting beneath a continent where drilling is forbidden. One is the biggest. One is the harshest. One is rising faster than anyone. We compared them all to answer a question that's harder than it looks: whose base actually wins the bottom of the world?
