That's roughly .8 miles up; trust the thermometer.
Real cute.
So, if there are "bugs" in something being cooked, and said
bugs cannot die at 204 °F, then ..... :) :)
I saw a NG show that gathered sea water at ocean
beds right next to boiling roiling volcanic thermal spouts,
where temperatures were exceeding 300°F.
They found fully live bacteria in that water when
it was analyzed :) :)
Hey, perhaps said bacteria will inherit this world :)
