7. Barrow, Alaska

As the northernmost city in the United States, it should go without saying that Alaska's Barrow is far up there on the list of the world's coldest places. It's a city whose residents survive on the fare they get from the Arctic Ocean, and while it's one of the coldest cities in the world, with the impending climate change, it's quickly warming. However, there's an average of 80.5 snowy days per years, and the lowest ever temperature was -56°F.
