Where Are The Coldest Places on Earth?

10. Verkhoyansk, Russia

Oymyakon has an adversary when it comes to the coldest inhabited places in Russia: Verkhoyansk. Verkhoyansk is so cold that its residents don't need refrigerators or freezers to keep their food fresh. All they need is a shallow basement, and they'll have food for days - years, even, if they're lucky. However, it's not all good for those who live there. Although cold tourism has brought money to the region, it's a lot different for those who can't escape the freezing temperatures; where not a single soul can step outside for longer than 15 minutes. Yeah. We'd say Verkhoyansk not only wins this one but the title of the coldest place on earth, to boot.
