One of the spaces that has more audience in the television news is the weather .We all like to know if it's going to rain, snow, get hot or if we "freeze".It is interesting to know data as to what percentage of its capacity are the swamps at any time, the solar phenomena or the rays that have fallen during a storm.If it is not surprising that we find it curious to know what is the coldest place in the world and until temperatures are reached in it.We anticipate that it is very, very cold, reaching temperatures of-92 ºC .
The coldest place in the The world is in Antarctica
The coldest place in the world is an elevated ridge that is located on the Eastern Antarctic Plateau. At this point in Antarctica temperatures of-92º are reached Centigrade: On the Eastern Antarctic Plateau there are two high points that are Dome A or Dome Argus and Dome F or Dome Fuji.they believed you for a long time that it was at the summit of the Argus Dome where the lowest temperatures on Earth were reached, but in 2013 they were able to verify, thanks to the data obtained through the remote sensing satellites, that between that summit and that of the Dome Fuji there was a crest where it was even colder. The record of maximum cold in that place was taken on August 10, 2010 and was set at-93.2 ° C., subsequently found that the temperature is often around-92 ° C.
Since 1983 it was believed that the coldest place in the world was the Vostok Russian Research Station in the Antarctica itself and next to the crest now known as the coldest place on Earth.At that base, in 1983, they had reached-89'2 ° C.Scientists thought that a place higher than Vostok possibly it would reach lower temperatures and they also observed that in the Eastern Antarctic Plateau there were large dunes made of snow that presented strange cracks.These were due to the fact that the surface layer of the snow, with the very low winter temperatures, shrinks.The researchers wondered how many degrees below zero should be reached in that area to produce that effect and began collecting satellite sensor data .
It would seem logical to think that at the Dome peaks, especially at the Argos Dome that is the highest in the Antarctic mountain range, I would do more cold than on that ridge that is at a lower altitude, however, this is not the case and this is because the temperatures plummet if the sky remains clear for a few days and the earth it cools down because because it radiates its heat into space.This effect creates an extremely icy air layer on the surface of the ice and snow that contrasts with the warmest something left over and causes it to slide into down the slopes of the domes until being trapped in lower areas and producing more cooling there. This is what happens on the ridge between the Argos Dome and the Fuji Dome.
The coldest permanently inhabited place in the world , not counting the base of Vostok or similar ones that really are not villages , but scientific stations, is located in the northeast of Siberia.They are the cities of Verkjoyansk and Oimiakon where temperatures have fallen, since it is recorded, at-70 ºC in 1892 and at-67'8ºC in 1933.Can you imagine living in such a place? The average for the month of January is-46'2ºC and the highest reached in the month of July is usually around 15 ºC.at 37 ºC in summer. Verkjoyansk has a population of almost 1,500 inhabitants and was one of the places preferred by the USSR government to exile political dissidents.In Oimiakon the average temperatures are lower than in Verkjoyansk and its population does not reach 500 inhabitants.
Other places inhabited on Earth where extreme temperatures are reached below zero they are the Amundsen-Scott base which is a scientific station belonging to the United States and which is located in the center of the South Pole and where they have reached-82'8 ºC, the North Ice station in Greenland where they arrived in 1954 at-66'1 ºC or a population in Canada, in the territory of Yukon, called Snag in which 10 Native Americans live and some scientists and in which in 1954 the record of lowest temperature in North America was broken reaching-64º C.
If you want to know by contrast what is the l We will tell you that it is the Lut Desert in Iran .In that area 70 ºC is reached on several occasions between 2003 and 2010.
