The mercury in the thermometer will freeze at temperatures below 39 Celsius (this is the freezing point of this substance) and when it expands, the thermometer will crack, and even if this does not happen, it will no longer show the temperature.
Alcohol freezes at a temperature of -112 degrees Celsius, such temperatures have not yet been in the Arctic and the thermometer will regularly show the temperature.
