That really depends on the part of Antartica. But the South Pole (which is by the way the coldest place on earth from what I've seen on the temperature thing) has a yearly average temperature of -55 degrees Farenheit.
If you want it more specific, go to weatherbase.com. There's a link for Antarctica and then for the major parts of Antarctica, including the south pole.

2. The average annual temperature of the inside is -57°C (-70°F). The coast is warmer. Monthly average temps. at McMurdo Station are from -28°C (-18.4°F) in August to -3°C (26.6°F) in January. At the South Pole, a high of -14°C (7°F) has been recorded. Along the Antarctic Peninsula, temperatures as high as 15°C (59°F) have been recorded, though the summer temperature usually is around 2°C.

3. Extreme low temperatures change with latitude, elevation (height), and distance from the ocean. East Antarctica is colder than West Antarctica because of its higher elevation (height). The Antarctic Peninsula has the most moderate climate. Higher temperatures occur in January along the coast and average slightly below freezing.
