Where is the coldest human settlement in the world?

1. Antarctic Orient Station

It is known as the coldest place in the world. Vostok Station is the highest altitude among all Antarctic research stations and the one closest to the South Pole. It is 3,600 meters above sea level. It was built by the former Soviet Union in 1957 and now belongs to Russia. It is located at 78 degrees 28 minutes south latitude and 106 degrees east longitude. 48 minutes, near the South Pole magnetic point. The oxygen content in the air here is very low, equivalent to the oxygen content in the air at an altitude of 5,600 meters on other continents. Vostok Station is almost the coldest place in Antarctica and the coldest place in the world. On July 2, 1983, the temperature was measured at minus 128 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 89.2 degrees Celsius). People call this place the "cold pole" of Antarctica; here glaciologists drilled the world's deepest borehole, reaching as deep as 2,600 meters (planned to reach 3,700 meters); due to the extremely cold climate and strong winds, it is known as the inaccessible area of ??Antarctica.

The station generally has about 30 staff members, mainly engaged in research in geophysics, upper atmospheric physics, meteorology, environmental science and glaciology.

Antarctica is so cold that in most areas the snow never melts and turns to ice when you splash it with water. The average temperature in the area is about minus 56 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 48.9 degrees Celsius), making it the coldest place on Earth. Crawler tractors sometimes become unable to move normally during cold weather conditions, making it difficult to deliver fuel and related equipment to the Eastern Station. For reasons such as cost savings, scientific researchers have temporarily closed the Oriental Station three times.

The English name of Dongfang Station is Vostok Station. Antarctica is called Antarctica in English. 2. Russia - Verkhoyansk

A village and town in the Upper Yansk Basin of the Yakutia Autonomous Republic of Russia. On the banks of the Yana River in northeastern Siberia, about 900 kilometers southeast from Yakutsk. Located north of the Arctic Circle. There are about 2,000 residents. Built in 1638, it was used as a penal colony during the Russian Empire. river port. From the end of November to the end of February of the following year, the average day and night temperature is below -40°C, and the absolute minimum temperature has reached -71°C, making it one of the coldest poles in the northern hemisphere. It is also the region with the largest annual temperature difference in the world (107.7℃). There is a tin and gold mining industry. A city in the Republic of Yakutia, Russia. Located on the banks of the Yana River. The population is approximately 2,500. The fortress was built in 1638 and is now a small tin and gold mining center. Located in the Arctic Circle, it is famous for its extremely cold winters. The average temperature in January is -46.8℃ and the minimum temperature is -68℃. 3. Russia-Yakutsk

The coldest city in the world is Yakutsk. Yakutsk is located at 62° north latitude, in the hinterland of the Siberian continent. The temperature in winter often drops to minus 60°C, and the hottest temperature in summer can reach 40°C, with a temperature difference of 100°C. It is the most typical city in the world with continental climate. Yakutsk is the capital of the Yakutia Autonomous Republic of Russia. It is very close to the Arctic Ocean and is the scientific, cultural and economic center of the Sakha Republic. It was founded in 1632 and stretches from Moscow to Yakutia. The distance between Tsk and Tsk is 8,468 kilometers. There are two districts in Yakutsk, namely October District and Yaraslavsk District, with a population of 220,000, and most of the residents are Yakuts. The average temperature in Yakutsk in January is minus 40.9 degrees, while the average temperature in July is 18.7 degrees. Because the city of Yakutsk is built on permafrost, it is known as the "Ice City" . 4. Canada - Snag Yukon River

Snag Yukon River (snag yukon) is located in Canada and is famous for the lowest temperature in North America. It has a subpolar climate, with short, fairly warm summers; but the treeless hillside highlands have a polar climate. Cold air masses from Siberia or the Arctic Ocean cross Alaska and the Yukon throughout the long winter, but occasionally warm air masses from the North Pacific cross the barrier of the St. Elias Mountains and bring warmer winter temperatures to the Whitehorse area. . The average January temperature is about -31°C in Dawson and -21°C in Whitehorse. The lowest temperature officially recorded in North America was -63°C in 1947, which was recorded at Snag along the Alaska Highway in southwest Yukon Territory. 5. Russia-Oymyakon

Generally speaking, the coldest places on earth are on the tops of mountains and polar regions. But it is also different in the northern and southern hemispheres and in different regions. Experts explained that the coldest place in Asia is neither at the North Pole nor within the Arctic Circle, but in Oymyakon in eastern Siberia, Russia, located at 63°16.2′ north latitude, on the upper reaches of the Indigirka River , between the Sontar-Hayata Mountains and the Tas-Kstabet Mountains. There, from December to January of the following year, the day and night temperatures were below -45°C. In February 1885, the official record was -67.7°C, earning the title of the "cold pole" in the northern hemisphere. In January 1964, it was -71°C. The low temperature of ℃ broke the original record.

Why is the "cold pole" in the northern hemisphere not at the pole, but about 27 latitudes south of it? This is because Oymyakon is a place where Siberian cold high pressure has been entrenched for a long time, and the surrounding terrain is a basin, which promotes the accumulation of cold air and radiation cooling.

The Arctic Circle is the Arctic Ocean. Although it is covered by sea ice, heat is still transferred from under the ice to the low-level air above the ice, causing the temperature to be lower than that of Oymyakon.
