The city with the lowest temperature today

The rotating earth has similar but completely different levels. People living in this place have to bear hardships that ordinary people can't bear. Here, temperature is a very important factor. There are many world-famous cities near the Arctic Circle, such as Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland, Murmansk, the largest military port in the former Soviet Union, Tromso, Norway and so on. But today we are going to talk about the coldest city in the world. Where on earth is it? Let's have a look.

Yakutsk is the capital of the Russian Republic of Sakha, built in 1632. Because the whole city is built on permafrost, it is also called "ice city", which is close to the Arctic Ocean and is the scientific, cultural and economic center of the Republic of Saha. It has a superior geographical location. Although the average temperature there is very low, there are still nearly 300 thousand residents, but they have long been used to the environment here.

Yakutsk has a continental climate, with extremely long winters except severe cold. It is understood that 1 month has an average temperature of -38.6℃ and an extreme minimum temperature of -64.4 degrees. Summer is short and warm. The average temperature in July is 19.5℃, and the extreme maximum temperature is 38.4℃. That is to say, the absolute temperature difference exceeds 100℃. It is called the most typical continental climate city in the world.

In addition, the buildings there are also very clever. The whole city is built on rock-solid frozen soil, but the active soil layer with a surface thickness of 1.2m freezes in winter and melts in summer. Therefore, wooden stakes must be deeply embedded under the active soil layer, and houses should be built on piles 1m above the ground to avoid land melting and damage to buildings. Doors and windows should have 3-4 floors to prevent cold air from invading.

Locals say that in winter, people's breath can be heard immediately turning into ice slag, fish can be as hard as stone when they are fished out of the river, and small fish can be eaten as popsicles; Car tires burst after a short walk, and steel is as fragile as ice. The artificial leather sole explodes outdoors for more than ten minutes, and the body will never rot when buried under the active soil layer. Even the mammoth bodies unearthed tens of thousands of years ago are as fresh as ever.

Local residents did not choose to leave because of this, and the local diet was even more surprising. There are no vegetables in the market, but there are more fish. In such cold weather, an inch of land is a luxury, not to mention vegetables can grow healthily. What will happen if you live here, my friend? Welcome your comments!
