What is the coldest inhabited place in the world?

Answer 1

The Road of Bones is a notorious road through far Eastern Russia. It connects Magadan and Yakutsk. The road is 2000 kilometres long. It was built in the Stalin era of the USSR by political prisoners, who were often imprisoned in gulags, or concentration camps.

Kolyma River Bridge, Magadan Oblast, SiberiaThe road is treated by some as a memorial, as the bones of the people who constructed it were incorporated into the road[citation needed]. It is said that every meter of the road cost one life of the construction workers[citation needed].

The area is extremely cold during the winter. Two towns by the highway, Tomtor and Oymyakon (in the Oymyakon region), both claim the coldest inhabited place on earth (often referred to as -71.2°C, but might be -67.7°C) outside of Antarctica. Some believe actual winter temperatures reached in nearby highlands may be in the -80°Cs.

The road is in a state of disrepair and is untraversable by standard road vehicles because of washed-out bridges and sections of road reclaimed by streams. During winter, frozen water actually helps river crossings.

After the fall of the Iron Curtain, the road was first travelled by Western motorcyclists in summer 1995 by the Mondo Enduro expedition. Subsequent traverses include Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman's round-the-world motorcycle journey, made into a television series, book and DVD, all named Long Way Round. It was also cycled in the winter by Alastair Humphreys and Rob Lilwall.

Answer 2

Antarctica is the coldest position on earth. The coldest organic temperature ever recorded on earth became ?89.2 °C (?128.6 °F) on the Russian Vostok Station in Antarctica on 21 July 1983.For evaluation, that's 11 °C (20 °F) less warm than subliming dry ice. Antarctica is a frozen wilderness with little precipitation; the South Pole itself receives decrease than 10 cm (4 in) in line with 12 months, on common. Temperatures attain a minimum of between ?eighty °C (?112 °F) and ?ninety °C (?one hundred thirty °F) interior the interior in wintry climate and attain a maximum of between 5 °C (40-one °F) and 15 °C (fifty 9 °F) close to the coast in summer time. Sunburn is sometimes a wellbeing situation because the snow floor reflects particularly a lot each and each and every of the ultraviolet gentle falling on it.

Answer 3

Verkhoyansk, Siberia, has the lowest recorded temperature of any inhabited place with -67C. Oymyakon, in the same part of Siberia, has an extrapolated minimum temperature of -71.2C.

Answer 4

Either the Arctic, Siberia or Antartica - The Russian Station Vostok [although there are researchers there rather than it being habited per se].

Answer 5

Oymyakon in Siberia, Russia. Don't know the exact number, but it was definitely below -70C or about -95F.

Answer 6

Actually, it's like Tibet and India. They live in the Himalayas, and MAN does it get cold there.

Answer 7
