What a delightful thought to imagine the temps warm enough to support some type of life within the atmosphere in that location. Unlikely? Yes Possible? Why not. . . -- Martin R.

Not that "hot" by the looks of it. From the NASA site...
"The tropospheric temperature increases toward the pole abruptly near 70 degrees latitude from 88 to 89 Kelvin (-301 to -299 degrees Fahrenheit) and then to 91 Kelvin (-296 degrees Fahrenheit) right at the pole" But hotter deeper in perhaps? Cheers Beats |
