The coldest temperature recorded in the Northern Hemisphere was −68.0 °C (−90.4 °F) at a Soviet military base on January 31, 1933.

The coldest permanently inhabited place is Oymyakon, Russia, where temperatures have been known to reach −71.2 °C (−96.2 °F).

It’s important to note that the coldest sub-arctic regions are in Siberia, Russia. These locations are considered sub-arctic because they don’t receive enough sunlight to be classified as Arctic regions. Even though these areas don’t receive enough sunlight to classify them as Arctic regions, they still retain the frigid temperatures, day or night.

Siberia, Russia is home to the coldest regions in the Northern Hemisphere. Because of this, Siberia experiences periods of 24 hours or a day of daylight during the summer months and 6-8 hours of sunlight during the winter months.

Because these areas are located so far north in comparison to other regions on Earth that receive less or no sunlight, it’s difficult to determine the exact location of these areas, making it difficult to pinpoint the coldest place on earth.

Typical summer in this region means an average temperature of 10 to 23 °C (50 to 73 °F) and an average winter temperature of -40 to -12 °C (-40 to 10 °F), with a few milder days in between. These conditions allow the permafrost to extend deep below the surface, making it difficult for plants or trees to grow in these kinds of conditions.

One of the most popular foods to try in this region is horse meat. The most popular game in this region is the winter game “hockey.” Hockey in Siberia is considered field hockey since there’s no large indoor area to accommodate ice hockey.

Most of their food supply comes from hunting, fishing, and reindeer. Other food sources include berries, mushrooms, and honey.

Most of their clothing is made from fur or wool, but some prefer cotton instead. Other items worn are boots for warmth and footwear, hats to keep the head warm, scarves to cover the mouth and nose, goggles to protect eyes from snow blindness, etc.
