THE COLDEST PLACES ON EARTH
VOSTOK, ANTARCTICA This quaint location serves as a Russian research outpost in Antarctica. It was named after the captain of the first Russian Antarctic expedition. Underneath the station lies Lake Vostok, the largest subglacial lake in the world. Once, it reached a record of 128 below zero on July 21, 1983, which is the record for the world’s lowest recorded temperature to this day. MOUNT WASHINGTON If you’re wondering about a cold place a little closer to home, this year, New Hampshire’s Mount Washington was the second coldest place on Earth in 2018. The mountain plummeted to -36 F on Jan. 6, with a wind chill of -94 F. In 2017, the coldest spot on Earth was a tie between Eureka, Nunavut, in Canada and Jakutsk in Russia.
