The coldest reliably measured temperature in Verkhoyansk was −67.8 °C (−90.0 °F) on February 5 and 7 of 1892. On February 6, 1933, a temperature of −67.7 °C (−89.9 °F) was recorded at Oymyakon's weather station. [5] At the time, this was the coldest reliably measured temperature for the Northern Hemisphere.
The next world record low temperature was a reading of −88.3 °C (−126.9 °F; 184.8 K), measured at the Soviet Vostok Station in 1968, on the Antarctic Plateau. Vostok again broke its own record with a reading of −89.2 °C (−128.6 °F; 184.0 K) on 21 July 1983. [8] This remains the record for a directly recorded temperature.
During World War II, an airfield was built in the district of Aeroport, for the Alaska-Siberian air route, used to ferry American Lend-Lease aircraft to the Eastern Front. [11] Oymyakon is located near the historic Road of Bones. [12] Over the last few decades, the population of Oymyakon has shrunk significantly.
An increasing number of luxurious expedition cruises and cruise-only voyages on larger liners has brought a surge of travelers to Antarctica. Here’s what it’s like to visit.
Imagine a town so cold that low temperatures in the -60s are considered, well, "normal", in the winter months. Yes, you read that right, minus 60s! The mere mention of "Siberia" is synonymous with ...
Satellite measurements of the surface temperature of Antarctica, taken between 1982 and 2013, found a coldest temperature of −93.2 °C (−135.8 °F) on 10 August 2010, at . Although this is not comparable to an air temperature, it is believed that the air temperature at this location would have been lower than the official record lowest air ...
Here's a statistic: On Earth, 18 of the last 19 years have been the warmest in recorded history. And as both NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced on ...
Owing to its location on the Antarctic Plateau and the high elevation, Dome Fuji is one of the coldest places on Earth. Temperatures rarely rise above −30 °C (−20 °F) in summer and can drop to −80 °C (−110 °F) in winter.
