oh the poor wording got me. What you mean to say is 105 deg range, not ground level: 105 deg.

Gary, you and others don't get it. The 189 degrees is the DIFFERENCE between the LOWEST and the HIGHEST temperatures recorded there, not the ACTUAL temperature! 😱

MamaLuvzLexie, Yes, unfortunately they gave us two choices for Russia, otherwise it would have been easier.

I'd really like a reference on ground temp being above boiling temp, and some context. Was this under a magnifying glass? What other factors were at play?
