This achievement may be taken by any geohasher or group of geohashers who reach the actual coordinates and document a colder temperature than the previous record holder. The best way to document this is by having an actual thermometer in the picture, but a weather report showing the daily high for a nearby location to be below the previous record is acceptable if it beats the previous record by more than five degrees.

As the first winter of geohashing moves across the northern hemisphere, expect this category to be hotly contested. Or coldly contested.

Current record holder

  • Robyn braved not-quite-frozen swamps at the 2008-08-21 55 -114 geohash, to snipe the record at 14.8°C (59°F). (The little gadget on top of the GPS is a digital thermometer).
Proof of 14.8°C in Slave Lake

Previous record holders

  • Arvid Nearly froze to death at the 2008-08-20 52 7 hash, at a shivering 66°F (or 19°C). And there was rain too!
  • Ok, I'll go... Ted Claims the coldest Geohash to date, with a temperature of 88°F (that's 31.11° metric), for his participation in the 2008-06-07_37_-121 event. Temperature proof is here. FWIW, I drank a frosty beverage, after the hash...
