lowest temperature on Earth was recorded in 1885 in Verkhoyansk.Is it in Eastern Siberia, meteorologists measured the temperature of -68 degrees below zero.This had not yet happened, no polar expedition such data have not been ascertained.This information was first published in the magazine "New Word" in June 1910.
Since that time, the lowest temperature increased by 20 degrees.In the Soviet station "Vostok" in 1983, it was recorded temperature of 89.2 degrees with the sign "minus".Today it is considered the lowest of all registered.

Even if Verhojansk cease to be the North Pole, he will still be known by setting the record for the largest average amplitude of a temperature of 61.8 degrees.
Oimyakon Residents believe that the lowest temperature was just in their local area.They say that if you measure the temperature at sea level, the Verkhoyansk lose.Station "East" is located at an altitude of 3488 meters above sea level, which is the explanation of why there was the lowest temperature.The dispute continues to this day and he could not see the end, as it affects the prestige of the village.Only time and the continuation of the temperature measurement will help to put everything in its place.
When the frost on the street, all the people of Russia suffered, often even do not go out of the house.Most goes to torment residents of the northern regions, especially in housing, since the heat necessary to support themselves.This requires a lot of fuel, or wood, which are not cheap.Suffer from frost and animals, not all survive, many die.
