Antarctica's average temperature is the coldest on earth. You don't state your winter temperatures, but summer temperatures in Antarctica can rise -- in some places -- to almost zero degrees F. The summer temperature on the Antarctic Peninsula can be warm-ish, in the upper 30 or 40 degrees F.
It is winter all the time. Antarctica, on average, is the coldest, driest, and windiest continent. The temperature in Antarctica has reached −89 °C (−129 °F).
The lowest temperature ever recorded in Antarctica was 89.6C in 1983. Temperatures can be as warm as -30C in winter. Summer maritime temperatures reach +9C
Antarctica is as large as USA and Mexico combined. Antarctica is also the coldest continent. According to USA Today: "The average high temperature for the year in Antarctica is about -49 degrees F, while the average low temperature for the continent is about -56 degrees F." As well, they state: "July features an average high temperature of -76 degrees and an average low temperature of about -81 degrees F." Winter begins on June 21 and spring begins on September 21. Since over most of the continent, the first sunrise may be as late as mid-August, that month could be colder than July.
Seasons in Antarctica are Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter.
Ethanol-filled thermometers (alcohol thermometers) are a favourite among meteorologists and can be used down to -70 degrees centigrade due to alcohols very low freezing temperature. So this should be your best bet.
No, Antarctica is colder. This is because Antarctica is a continent whereas the Arctic is mostly water, as well as a few other factors. It also has to do with the distance to the sun being a little bit smaller during Antarctica's winter.

The temperature in Antarctica ranges from about -50°C to 0°C (-58°F to 32°F) during the summer months, and from about -60°C to -80°C (-76°F to -112°F) during the winter months. Antarctica is known for being the coldest place on Earth.
