Author Name: Lena Pimonova

Our planet is the masterpiece of nature. When one section of the Earth is still sleeping the other one is already awaking. When some continents have winter- the others have summer. History has shown us that temperatures can fluctuate from both the extreme of hot and cold throughout the world. However there is nothing that can last forever in this world.

Nature has a way of spreading extreme beauty in its own way. Now the coldest weather on the planet can be found in Antarctica, Russia, Canada, Alaska and Mongolia. As time will tell, there could be more places with even colder climates in the world. Of course people would be much happier living on a planet with mild temperatures, yet nature does not agree.

It is very difficult to survive in the cold environment. Intellectuals from different countries spent years researching to identify the coldest places of the planet. People have found ways to survive in the coldest parts of the Earth. And now many of the coldest places of the planet have a great interest for tourists.

The first place on our list is Antarctica and one of the coldest. The coldest temperature recorded in this part of the world was-- 89.2 C (-128.6 F) degrees on 21 July 1983 at Russian research station "Vostok". That station is located near the South Pole at the height of 3500 meters above sea level. You don't want to get caught outside in this place without the proper gear.

The coldest geographical point is located near that station. It's a lake "Vostok", one of the largest and coldest lakes in the world, which is covered with 2 miles (4 km) of ice.
This place is the windiest and the highest continent in the world. Antarctica has about 90 percent of the ice in the world. There are almost no atmospheric precipitations, the environment is similar to a desert.

Planes can only fly there from mid-December to early February, any other time, it is impossible to land. The rest of the time there is no available way to travel out of there. Since the area is so extreme and desolate, if anything were to happen, help would not be able to reach you.

They say, people usually lose up to 2-- 5 lbs. (5-10 kilograms) of their weight during the first month at the "Vostok" station. Oxygen in the air is the same as if you were at an altitude of 3 miles (5 kilometers) up. So the first problem to deal with when first arriving is the body's response to the altitude. They say a person can become ill after just a few minutes of arriving. A person needs to take precautions if walking quickly or lifting the weights, because it's can be extremely dangerous to a person health at these extreme altitudes and conditions.

You can find scientists making this a destination during the summer. Rarely do they make the journey in the winter.

The station "Vostok" is the most important base for researchers on the continent. The studying of the sub-glacial lake Vostok has become an international project. The project joins many specialists from different countries, but the leading role belongs to Russia and the station "Vostok".

After Antarctica, number two is Siberia. All inhabited places in Siberia are cold and also very difficult to live there in comparison to other places in the world. The most difficult and coldest areas to live are Yakutsk and Verkhoyansk.

Have you ever became aware of rustling of frozen breath? This strange noise appears when temperatures drop below minus -50 degrees. The people who live there call it "whisper of the stars".

The residents of Tomtor and Oymyakon say that even their horses have a headache if to stay outside.

Do you know where the "pole of cold" is located? People love making records. Thus, that cold area became one of the most popular places to visit in Yakutia. There the official coldest palce in Russia is not Yakutia. The place which holds the coldest record and that is still within Russia. Verkhoyansk is now considered the official "pole of cold".

North America is the third world coldest area. The research station "Northern ice" recorded a temperature of -86.98 F / -66.1 C. And the name of the coldest place in North America belongs to the now-abandoned Canadian village "Snag", where was recorded a temperature of -81.4 F / -63 C on the 3d of February in 1947.

That station has been called the coldest uninhabited area on the Earth. The "Eureka" is a research base, which is located in the far North of the Canadian Ellesmere Island. And it was built as a meteorological station in 1947 year. If you are a tourist or you just want to visit "Eureka" a person needs to fly to Resolute first. The cost to get there is not cheap. It can be upwards of $20,000 USD to reach Eureka.

Alaska is also a very cold place on earth. There is a great mountain, which is called McKinley, and it is the highest peak in North America. It was also named as the coldest mountain on the planet, with winter temperatures around-- 40 ° C(-- 40 ° F)degrees. To get to this Alaskan peak you must be a professional climber, because its height is 3.9 miles/6194 meters. However for tourists there is a trip through Denali National Park, which is situated within a lower mountain area.

Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia is the last coldest place, which we would be discussing today. Ulaanbaatar is the capital of Mongolia and it is located in the river valley which is 0.8 miles/1300 meters above the river level.

Ulaanbaatar means "Red Hero" and it was also named as the coldest capital on the Earth. Ulaanbaatar has a very high elevation and the city has the cold semi-arid climate.

The city has very cold and dry winters about -36 C (33F) and -40C (40F) degrees with no wind. Winter nights in Mongolia have the temperature, which could drop to -40 degrees.

So, if you think that winter in your city is the coldest in the world, then don't forget those areas, discussed today. They are really the coldest weather places on the planet.
