The coldest settlement in the world is in Russia, in the eastern part of Siberia. The name of the small village is Ojmjakon. The average temperature in this settlement reached -50 degrees in January, but here it also measured the absolute cold record in 1933, which was -63 degrees. It is said that even colder temperatures were measured even earlier, with temperatures below -70 degrees, but this is not officially recognized because they were not obtained by direct measurement, but by extrapolation. There are 500 people living in the village. [img alt_text = 'Ojmjakon' description = ''] https:///wp-content/uploads/2017/05/ojmjakon.jpg [/ img]
