The coldest inhabited place on Earth

[Madonna]

On 6 February 1933, a temperature of minus 67.7 degrees Celsius (−90 °F) was recorded at the weather station in Oymyakon in the Republic of Sakha, northeast Russia. This is the lowest temperature ever recorded in the northern hemisphere, and is the lowest temperature ever recorded for any permanently inhabited location on Earth. This picture gallery looks at

The ground in the Oymyakon valley is permanently frozen (continuous permafrost). Despite the harsh climate, people live in the valley, and the area is equipped with schools, a post office, a bank, and even an airport runway (although it's open only in the summer).

And I thought -37° was cold...

[Madonna]

how its possible to live in almost minus 70 :D

[Twistedmind]

Lot of vodka?

[Austo]

how its possible to live in almost minus 70 :D

The coldest i ever saw was -40 grades when i was skiing on a mountain.
That was very very cold.

[Tropico]

my blood would freeze. kudos to them. thats a harsh life.

[Jackson]

Incredible really. If there's somewhere it's physically possible to live, someone will be living there.

[Madonna]

The coldest i ever saw was -40 grades when i was skiing on a mountain.
That was very very cold.

you are borreby :D they dont feel cold at all :D

[Austo]

you are borreby :D they dont feel cold at all :D

:D I know

But -40 grades with storm also a borreby get cold :)

[Madonna]

:D I know

But -40 grades with storm also a borreby get cold :)

you are not affraid of anything :) :D

[Austo]

you are not affraid of anything :) :D

:evil thats right.

Only maybe, i am afraid that Twistedmind is faster than me again, and i cant kiss you.

[Sarmatian]

This is what happens to boiling water at -41.

Ive seen this clip its great :D

[Smaug]

-89.9ºC in Vostok, Antarctica!

Southern Hemisphere rules!!!! xD

[Jackson]

-89.9ºC in Vostok, Antarctica!

Unless you like being above your own freezing temperature. :P

[Smaug]

Well here where I live 3ºC-8ºC are ordinary winter temperatures, but last autumn we got -4ºC here in São Paulo we almost decreted the end of the world!

In the mountains region the temperature can drop to -20ºC though, with a wind chill of -40ºC!!! =O
I bet most of you didn't even know we could get such temperatures here.

[Hoca]

People are shorter there. Shorter people have better blood circulation because of short arms and legs. Tall people won't survive there. Darwins rule will take care of that.

[Jackson]

True. Better to be short and stocky in cold climates.

[Dacul]

Lol,if you eat a lot of animal fat and you have enough NW/NE european/North asian admixture is no problem.
I do not recommend people that do not have proper genetics to eat lots of animal fat,you will get ill at liver and get your cholesterol raised at high values in no time.

[evon]

Ive been in about -45c, thats pretty cold, but its very dry, so it dosnt feel as cold as more humid warmer temperature...not my climate though, i take the Atlantic climate over the Siberian any time...

[Žołnir]

Well austo lives in Alpine area where weather is really moisty throuought the year so cold weather can be fucking anoying even at higher - temperatures. :D

[evon]

You need to be used to it too, and have high body fat %, otherwise you can be stocky as you want, and you will still be worse of then a climatized maasai with enough body fat %...

[Dacul]

Well I saw that NE Norway got very low temperatures.

[evon]

Well I saw that NE Norway got very low temperatures.

The coldest parts in Norway are usually inland regions, in South, Central and Far Northern, the rest is mild:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/38/Klimasoner_i_Norge.png/250px-Klimasoner_i_Norge.png

[Dacul]

Well I read that most coldest area from Norway is Finnmark,there it was recorded coldest temperature from Norway ever:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnmark#Climate
It was -51.4 degrees Celsius.

[Dandelion]

Resilient humans live there. I wonder how people managed this even before the modern age. Today it's even nearly impossible, but was is like a hundred years ago?

[Slycooper]

-15 here is cold as hell.

[Hayalet]

Duh, it's obvious the Turkic master race will survive in all conditions. :ranger:

[Dandelion]

At 0°C my hands turn red already and I need to use gloves when working outside (like surveying for instance). That is just the way my body reacts. Then again: 0°C or -15°C, hardly a difference to me as long as I have protection.

Still, for cold winters alone I doubt I'd thrive in Northern Europe. Searing hot temperatures, however, I can take like a pro. Been in Córdoba and Sevilla during July before and these are among the hottest places in Europe.

[Pallantides]

Last winter it was -37 in northern Hedmark, also there was -39 recorded in Ringerike and -36 in Hallingdal two years ago.


In 1987 it was –47 in Drevsjø, Hedmark, which I think is the East Norwegian record.

[Austo]

Well austo lives in Alpine area where weather is really moisty throuought the year so cold weather can be fucking anoying even at higher - temperatures. :D

Yes very much.
Especially where i live it is very moist.
Some years ago it was normal that we had over 2 m snow in winter. (not on the mountain, on the mountain much more meters)
In the morning when i went out the house -25 grades is normal. :heh:

[evon]

Well I read that most coldest area from Norway is Finnmark,there it was recorded coldest temperature from Norway ever:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnmark#Climate

Yes, its interior parts though, not the coast...

To quote Wiki on the matter:

Temperature

The coast experiences much milder winters than other areas at the same latitudes. The temperature difference from the coldest month to the warmest is only 11–15 °C (52–59 °F) in coastal areas; some lighthouses have a year amplitude of just 10 °C (18 °F), such as Svinøy in Herøy with a coldest month of 2.7 °C (36.9 °F).[9] The amplitude of inland areas are larger, with a maximum of 30 °C (86 °F) in Karasjok. Finnmarksvidda has the coldest winters in mainland Norway, but inland areas much further south can also see severe cold; Røros has recorded −50 °C (−58 °F) and Tynset has a January average −13 °C (9 °F).

I wonder, if a man will piss somewhere outside lol

[Dacul]

I think that area (Republic of Sakha) is fitting Pallantides much better as climate.
Norway I think is too warm for him.

[Twistedmind]

Yes. Pallantides is northern Indo-Germanized Turanic, and Yakuts are Turkic people, he would be among his own kin, besaides living in place which suits his way of living.

[Roy]

bhrrrrr ... way too cold. I'm not resistant to cold at all and have breathing difficulties even in -10/-15 which is rather common winter temperature in Poland. No matter how many layers of clothes I'm wearing I always freeze. I'm amazed that people in England can go outside almost without clothes and they don't seem to feel cold (I know temperatures there are different but stilll ... )

[rhiannon]

you are borreby :D they dont feel cold at all :DOMG thanks for saying this lol. I opened this thread and thought to myself:
I could live there lol. I am a cold lover, and have spent time in temps around -40 without a heavy coat on at all. People classify me as mostly Borreby/Bruenn, as is the majority of my family. My one brother looks more Borreby than the others, and he handles the cold much the same way I do:cool:

We have higher body fat % even if we're not overweight. Short arms, average legs, average to tall, and stocky lol (hate that word).

The Russians are some hardy-ass individuals. Kudos to them!!

We're just not used to dealing with it being very cold, like below -10. It's often difficult to gauge temperature here. For example a lot of the time it is freezing in the early morning and within an hour or two it can be quite warm and sunny. So you end up chilled on the way there and sweating on the way back. :P
So of course people go 'ah fuck it' and go out in t shirts in cold weather. Usually they are OK though because we don't get extreme temperatures, but it's easy to die of exposure even in our mild, forgiving climate if you are not careful.

It would be good to see a graph or something that showed what f.e -20 in dry conditions feels like (temperature wise) in humid Atlantic conditions, and the same for high temperatures. Because people talk about -20 or -30 and going by what i'm used to it would seem like you would have to walk around in a cocoon of cold weather gear, huddled with other people in order to stay outside for more than 10 minutes.

Wind-chill is important as well. Like today for instance we had freezing winds but the temperature itself was comfortable, so you are constantly feeling the change between above and below freezing which is annoying.

[Kazimiera]

I have never experienced anything this cold before. :(

The lowest I've ever been in was probably around -5.

[Jackson]

I remember reading last year when there was a cold snap about a man in Poland or Ukraine, who froze to death on the way back from a funeral. Cruel world sometimes. And ironic.

[Jackson]

Maybe it feels colder in Britain than it says on the tin because it is almost always damp and humid, and overcast when it is cold. Although it's still a mild place overall. I think a few mountainous areas sometimes get -15 or rarely -20. We had a few bad winters in the past though, like 1963 and 1947, where rivers froze (including the Thames) and there were small icebergs in major shipping areas. :P

Used to be colder though, 400 years ago the Thames would freeze over on many winters.

You can see it on Brueghel's landscapes. Then (XVII century) the climate was much harsher. Sometimes this era is called ''Little Ice Age'' which lasted from late Middle Ages to 1850 (latest Alpine Glacial maximum). Brueghels catched the coldest period of it ''Maunder Minimum'' (from 1645 to 1715). These periods are associated with changes in solar activity. In these years there were little to none sun spots recorded.

The climate in Britain is pretty similar to the climate here in the Pacific Northwest United States...or at least the part that's west of the Cascades. This kind of cold can be very difficult to tolerate for individuals with rheumatism of any sort. My husband has a difficult time on particularly damp days.

Indeed, the damp permeates, the cold wind blows and makes it more a matter of the weather wearing you away. :P
Of course the place mostly looks dark and wet and overcast, and we don't get much snow in most areas - So it can be depressing if you don't like winter i imagine.
Winters in Britain are more a case of being constantly slightly uncomfortable, rather than freezing to death. Fortunately. It's good when it's a bit above freezing and not too windy. Aids in mental focus without being too uncomfortable.

[Anglojew]

Russian engineering is very underrated considering such harsh conditions.

[Lemon Kush]

Well here in Southern California it never goes below freezing or even less than 10 degrees C for that matter. So I think I'm good when it comes to freezing to death. :) I can pretty much wear shorts and short sleeves all year round. :D

[RussiaPrussia]

Duh, it's obvious the Turkic master race will survive in all conditions. :ranger:
:picard2:
50% are russians there, we even managed to make orthodox gates out of ice in that temperature. Or do you think yakut made that?

When there is a cold snap in a warm place you can get mass dyings. The temperature dropped to 5° C in New Delhi recently and over 100 people died of exposure.

I dont know, in same year I experience both +40 °C and -20 °C. But, I guess you think about people living in equatorial and subpolar regions. Second temperature was just few days ago.

[Madonna]

Yes. And in colder climates people start dying of heat exhaustion when it gets to 30+ ° C.

no thats not true ;) look on Ukraine - winter minus 30-35 , summer plus 30/35 :D

I'm just going on the heatwave stats in Russia from 2010, with Moscow reaching 38° C.


The intense heat wave that centered on western Russia last summer was truly a record breaker. It surpassed even 2003's scorcher in western and central Europe — which has been blamed for 70,000 deaths. And together, both of these mega heat waves have secured a place in the 500-year weather history of Europe, according to a new analysis.

The researchers also looked ahead, and found that a variety of different climate models predict an increase in mega heat waves similar to these in the 21st century for two regions within Europe.

From late July until the second week in August 2010, record heat settled across 772,204 square miles (2 million square kilometers) in Russia and Eastern Europe. In Moscow, the daytime temperatures reached 101 degrees Fahrenheit (38.2 degrees Celsius), in Kiev, nights reached 77 F (25 C), crops were destroyed, fires swept across western Russia, and preliminary estimates now put the Russian death toll at 55,000.

That's only the sick and destitute, normal and healthy people usually don't die from a heath wave.

Also the elderly are prone to die in a heatwave (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003_European_heat_wave#France).

I mean 2-3 , except 2007, which was 15 , I think. Oldies.

[Flintlocke]

I worked construction with 46 degrees, didn't bother, except I was all slippery from the sweat, I also drove once with my motorbike at 3 pm, with 51 degrees, it was as if the laws of nature were reversed, it was hotter when you drove than when you stopped!

Well I am not having so much med genetics as usual greek has.
From what I saw,average romanian has about 25% med genetics.
West asian/caucasian genetics - depends from where you have it,I think romanians got it mostly from dacians which were living in mountains,so that is not either giving heat resistance.

In Romania,in North East,is very cold,because of some wind blowing from Siberia.
-20 degrees there is not unusual.

I live about 1 km above sea height. The coldest temperatures can be around -30.

[Jackson]

Yeah, it is very humid here, but i haven't experienced dry heat or dry cold, so i don't know how to compare it exactly.

I think best way would be to get people from each environment and get them to say what temperature they think it is, based on their experiences.

All i know is that it's uncomfortable above 20 and below freezing. 10-15 degrees is a good temperature.

I know that and yes they are overwhelmingley Siberian genetically. Almost all Turkics differ genetically from each other.

Yes,and least turkic from all are the people,from,ironically,Turkey!

Here a list of temperature records,taken from Wikipedia:

No idea how accurate this is,but for Romania and Bosnia seems accurate.

Including the whole of Britain (England, Scotland, Wales) the highest temperature ever recorded was 38.5c in Faversham, Kent in 2003.
Lowest temperature ever recorded in the whole of Britain was -27.2c in Braemar, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. 1895, 1982.

Boring argument! Just because we're not Mongoloid enough it doesn't mean we're not Turkic. Many ancient Turkic were described as Blonde or with caucasoid feautures like the Kypchaks and Khazars. The first Turkics were mainly Eurasians and not of pure race.

It only shows the temperatures where people live.

Average turk does not even have 7% east asian+ north asian admixture!
Go please there,see how fast you will die from cold,with your mostly mediteranid genetics,lol.

The Turks are not even a little assimilated to the cold climate :) .
They freeze to death in cold countries.

You don't have a clue about the genetics of Turkish people. Turkish people from Aydin are genetically 11 % Mongoloid and Turkmens are on average genetically 15-17% Mongoloid so that would make Turks from Aydin half Turkmens.

Um, no, most of Turkey gets as cold as Central-Eastern Europe in winter.

Sadly many turks live in Austria and from what i have seen they get cold with the thickest jackts in winter and tend to stay inside because they cannot deal with the cold weather here.

Germans and most Northwestern-Europeans live on the most pussy climate areas with mild temperatures through the year. Most cities in eastern Turkey like Erzurum are colder and experience more snow then any German city with their boring mild rainy climate.

Look here how "cold resistant" are people from Istanbul,is snowing,but is not even under 0 degrees Celsius,since snow is melting,as it touches the ground:

And they are wearing clothes like it would be -20 degrees Celsius outside.

But i am from Austria in the mountains where -20 grades is not uncommon.

I doubt it. During winter, temperature casually drops to -15°C in the Anatolian heartland, and to -30°C in the mountainous east. In major Austrian cities (where immigrants live), average winter temperatures seem to be around 0°C.

How many percents from the population of Turkey lives in Anatolian heartland?
And how many percents in mountainous area?

Funniest comment i've ever seen :D You took statistics of how Turkish people clothing or what?

Are you turks really all that stupid?
When i went to school i saw it how the invaders froze their butts of while Austrians stood aside sweating.

[Vasconcelos]

So living in a colder place is something worth bragging about these days?

No we cant beat Austrians about that. So three or four Turkish people with thick jackets equals all Turks. Seems legit. :D

Actually these Turks came from the Turkish mountains hahahha:laugh:

Tens of millions live in the former, while several millions live in the latter.

Wait, I distinctly remember reading somewhere that the coldest temperature ever recorded in Russia was -69 degrees in Pevek, Yakutia.
