These are literally the spine-chilling places on Earth that are absolutely uninhabitable.
This article is not to help you out with a new vacation place
but rather to avoid one. If you are in search of a cold place to spend your vacation then these five places are something you should avoid going to because these places are barely survivable for humans, and those who do are mostly intrepid and well-insulated explorers and scientists. For a human being to survive at this temperature without any support is next to impossible. Your skin, if exposed, would freeze within minutes and the droplets in your breath turn to crystals as you exhale. No ordinary thermometers work here and no amount of layer is enough to protect you. So, here is the list of places that have the coldest temperatures.
Klinck station, Greenland
Greenland is technically the largest island in the world with a gigantic ice sheet covering its whole land. And Klinck weather station sits close to the highest point on the ice sheet, exposed to the worst of the dry, cold continental climate. It is considered to be the coldest place in the Arctic Circle. It has recorded a temperature as low as -69.6 C. But despite these unimaginable cold temperatures, Greenland's ice is melting rapidly.
Denali, Alaska, The United States of America
Over 600 meters above sea level Denali, formerly known as Mount McKinley, is the highest mountain peak in North America. And closer to its peak situated a weather station, which recorded the coldest temperature on record in the United States in 2003: a frosty -73.8C. During that temperature wind, chills can be as low as -83.4C.
Amundsen-Scott Station, Antarctica
Located on the south pole, situated at a height of 3,000m above sea level on the Antarctic plateau, the Amundsen-Scott Station was built in 1956. One of the most fascinating facts about this place is that people in this workstation see one sunrise and one sunset a year. That is six months of sunlight in the summer and six months of total darkness during the winter month. Even in summer, it is unlikely to climb much higher than -12C. Today the average population is around 150 that too except in winter. The scientists here are working on a range of subjects starting from neutrino research to biomedical work to observations of the cosmic microwave background with the South Pole Telescope. The coldest ever recorded was -82.8C in June 1982.
Vostok Station Antarctica
Situated in the southern hemisphere, the Vostok research station is one of the coldest places on Earth. It was created in 1957 by the Soviet Union. But this place is also one of the sunniest and driest places on earth, as it gets more than 22 hours of sunlight in December. On the other hand, during a polar night, there are precisely zero hours of sunlight. In the year 1983, July, it recorded a temperature as low as -89.2C which is also the lowest air temperature ever directly recorded on earth.
Eastern Antarctic Plateau, Antarctica
The Eastern Antarctic Plateau is considered to be the coldest place on Earth. Satellite data collected between 2014-2016, across Dome Argus and Dome Fuji, which is as large as the country Australia, shows air temperatures around – 94C. This would be the coldest temperature on Earth, but the researchers believe that due to the dry air, the actual temperature may be even colder than that.
