Самая низкая температура на планете Земля была registered in 1885 in Verkhoyansk. It is located in Eastern Siberia, meteorologists have measured the temperature of -68 degrees below zero. This has never happened before; not a single polar expedition has previously stated such data. This information was first published in the journal Novoe Slovo in June 1910.
Since that time, the lowest temperatureincreased by another 20 degrees. At the Soviet station "Vostok" in 1983, a temperature of 89.2 degrees was recorded with a minus sign. Today it is considered the lowest of all registered.
Since then, the Vostok station, located in the center of the Antarctic continent, has been considered the South Pole of the entire Earth, that is, the place where the lowest temperatures occur in that hemisphere.
Now for the title of the coldest terrain claim 2 settlements - Oymyakon and Verkhoyansk.
The lowest in Verkhoyansktemperature - minus 67.8 degrees. This was mentioned a little higher. In 1933, Verkhoyansk confirmed its record. In the same year, almost the same temperature was recorded in Oymyakon, warmer by only 0.1 degrees. There is evidence that in this area in 1924 was a temperature of minus 71.2 degrees, and in the year 38 -77.8.
Even if Verkhoyansk ceases to be the North Pole, it will still be known due to the established record for the largest annual average amplitude of temperatures, which is 61.8 degrees.
Oimyakon residents believe that the lowestthe temperature was exactly in their area. They say that if you measure the temperature at sea level, then Verkhoyansk will lose. Station "Vostok" is located at an altitude of 3488 meters above sea level, which is the explanation of why it was the lowest temperature there. This dispute continues to this day and there is no end in sight for him, since the prestige of a settlement depends on it. Only time and continuation of temperature measurement will help to put everything in its place.
Когда на улице мороз, все жители России страдают, often even from home do not go. Most of the torment goes to the residents of the northern regions, and especially in residential buildings, since the heat must be maintained independently. For this you need a lot of fuel or firewood, which are not cheap at all. They suffer from frost and animals, not all survive, many die.
Frost is a very terrible natural phenomenon, withit can only be compared to extreme heat. Most recently, the lowest temperature in Russia was discovered, and all in the same Oimyakone. According to many sources, the fact that this is the lowest temperature on Earth has become known. Anyway, the place with the lowest recorded temperature is located in the Russian Federation. This further strengthens the opinion of foreigners that Russia is a country of winter and severe frosts. With all its negative qualities, frost is an integral part of the inhabitants of Russia about their homeland. With winter and frost is associated with a huge number of folk beliefs and folklore. No Russian can imagine his life without snow, Epiphany frosts, riding in a troika, on a sled.
