Vostok - The World's coldest place

The world is full of extreme climates that make it difficult for human habitation. There are many extreme places in the world, some of them more extreme than others. There are hottest places on earth, and also the coldest. Here, this article describes the places with the lowest temperature on Earth, the coldest places. The coldest temperature ever recorded was minus 128.6 degrees F in at the Russian research station in Vostok, Antarctica, on July 21, 1983. While none of these towns or cities gets that cold, some get frighteningly close to it. Here we present the top 10 of the coldest places in the world. These are places where recorded temperatures are very low.

The Russian station Vostok, sits on the polar plateau. The coldest temperature
ever recorded on earth was -128.6 degrees Fahrenheit at Vostok in 1983.

The striped building on the left is the power station while the striped building on the right is where researchers sleep and take meals. The building in the background with the red- and white-striped ball on top is the meteorology building. Caves were dug into the ice sheet for storage, keeping cores at an ideal −55 °C (−67 °F) year-round. (Credit: Todd Sowers LDEO, Columbia University, Palisades, New York.)
