2 coldest place in the World

- Oymyakon, Russia 
 
Still the same tetanggaan Verkhoyansk and Yakutsk, Oymyakon inhabited only by the 900 people it can reach temperatures of minus 71 degrees Celsius during the winter. Sadly, the winter here is considered very long, ie less than nine months. In the language of ethnic Russian Sakha, Oymyakon means "water is not frozen"

- Vostok Station, Antarctica 
Here it is the coldest place in the world. With temperatures as low as minus 89 degrees Celsius, Vostok, which in Russian means "east", is only used as a research center owned by Russia. 

Verkhoyansk, Russia

Eight hours' drive by car from Yakutsk, then we'll see Verkhoyansk, located on the Arctic Circle. There are 1,300 people living in these areas, and most of the work as a hunter or use the sledge to drive. Actually in this region there are a lot of gold, but it was too cold to open the mine. The place known as "Stalin's Death Ring" this can only be visited during winter, when the lake freezes. The lowest temperature in this town is minus 69 degrees Celsius. 
 

coldest place Yakutsk and North Ice Station

- Yakutsk, Russia 
The lowest temperature in the capital of Yakutia region, reaching minus 50 degrees Celsius, and usually occurs in January. Although very cold, this town was inhabited by quite a lot of people know. There are at least 200,000 people who live in this city. I was so cold, people often let the car stayed on when they stop somewhere. Because they are afraid of gasoline in this car can be frozen, anyway. Moreover, in this city there is also a warning for not wearing sunglasses. Understandably, the glasses might stick in our skin and our skin tear because it's too cold. Spooky huh?

- North Ice Station, Greenland 
Greenland is known as the coldest region in the Western hemisphere. However, the lowest temperature ever recorded in Greenland in the North Ice Station, a regional research center owned by the British state, with temperatures of minus 66 degrees Celsius.
