Where Are The Coldest Places on Earth?

5. International Falls, Minnesota

Unless you're a Minnesotan, you might be surprised to learn that there's one place in the North Star State that's as cold as anywhere Canada or Alaska has to offer. Despite bordering Lake Superior and being on the border with Canada, there are some spots in Minnesota that don't get anywhere close to the coldest on earth. That's not the case when it comes to International Falls, however. Even at less than half the coldness of Vostok, it's one of the coldest places in the United States.
