The coldest places in the world – Siri in Iran
In the middle of January, the temperature of Yakutsk, located in eastern Siberia, reached minus 50 degrees Celsius. This city experiences the coldest month of the year in January; However, Yakutsk is on the 8th place in the list of the coldest places in the world. “Yakutsk” is located about 450 km from the Arctic Circle, and this year in January, it experienced cold for a long time. “You can’t fight the cold. “Either you have to adapt to it and wear appropriate clothes or suffer.” These are the words of one of the citizens of “Yakutsk” in an interview with “Reuters” in January 2023, while he was wearing two shawls, two pairs of gloves, several hats and robes.
The Antarctic and Yukon territories in Canada are among the 10 places that have been identified as the coldest places on the planet.
In this article you will read:
1. East Antarctic Plateau, Antarctica
In August 2010, a temperature of minus 95 degrees Celsius was recorded in the eastern plateau of Antarctica, which is the coldest continent in the world. This temperature changed the previous record for the coldest temperature in this winter region, which had not been broken since 1983. However, this temperature, which has been measured using remote sensors and satellites in addition to ground-based thermometers, is often not considered a competitor to the official record previously set.
2. Vostok Base, Antarctica
Vostok, which once topped the list and is still considered by many to be the coldest place on Earth, officially recorded a temperature of minus 89.9 degrees Celsius in 1983.
This research base, which is located in one of the coldest places in the world, is also located in one of the sunniest places in the world. Every year in December, this area sees more than 22 hours of daily sunlight.
3. Amunsen-Scott Antarctic Station
This station is one of the three stations under the administration of the US Antarctic Program. This station is located in the high plateau of Antarctica and considering the minus 82.8 degrees Celsius recorded in 1982, it is one of the coldest places on the planet. has thrust
4. Denali, Alaska, USA
Denali is the highest mountain in North America and one of the coldest destinations in the world. Of course, the presence of this place in this list may be controversial. Denali, which is considered the third highest peak among the “Seven Peaks”, is famous for severe winters and a drop in temperature that has reached minus 73 degrees Celsius at one point in history. Extreme cold is the destination of adventure tourists who travel to it for skiing and mountaineering.
5. “Klinck” station, Greenland
The trail of the coldest temperature ever recorded in the Northern Hemisphere leads us to the Klink station located on the Greenland ice sheet. In December 1991, the World Meteorological Organization measured minus 69.9 degrees Celsius at this station. This temperature was recorded by an automatic weather station. Access to this remote location is only possible by snowmobile, so the researchers had to be very careful to move the sensitive temperature measuring equipment through the impassable snow passages.
6. Oymyakon, Siberia, Russia
In the Republic of Yakutistan, located in Eastern Siberia, there is a village called “Omiyaken”, which is one of the coldest inhabited places in the world. In 1933, this village witnessed a temperature of minus 67.7 degrees Celsius. Several hundred people living in this place survived on a diet that mostly consisted of frozen fish and reindeer meat. Last year, the world’s coldest marathon was held in this place, and the participants endured extreme cold on the 42-kilometer course, and many of their eyebrows and eyelashes froze.
7. North Ice, Greenland
This station located in Greenland, which is now abandoned, was once thought to be the coldest place in the Northern Hemisphere because it recorded a temperature of -66.1 degrees in January 1954, but this title was changed after the station’s temperature was discovered. Clink” was taken from North Ice. However, this station is still one of the coldest places in the world. This station has been abandoned since 69 years ago.
8. Yakutsk, Siberia, Russia
Yakutsk made headlines in January when the temperature dropped to minus 50 degrees. Of course, this is not the coldest temperature ever measured in this city. In 1891, freezing cold with a temperature of minus 64.4 degrees Celsius was recorded in this city.
9. Snag, Yukon Territory, Canada
The coldest place in Canada by average annual temperature is Eureka, but the village of Snag in the Yukon is the place with the coldest temperature ever recorded in Canada. In 1947 in this place; A negative temperature of 63 degrees Celsius was recorded.
10. Prospect Creek, Alaska, USA
This place, which has been abandoned since the 90s, is considered one of the coldest places in the world. This “small ghost town” witnessed a minus 62.1 degree Celsius temperature in 1971.
