"The lowest recorded temperature here is 71.2 degrees Celsius."
You might want to put a negative sign in front of that.

as someone who lives in a place where its currently -39c and is only going to get colder, the negative sign isnt really needed or used at that temperature.

Hmmm. The station at the south pole gets below -100. They have this thing called the 300 club. You sit in a sauna until it reaches 200 degrees, then run outside naked and experience a 300 degree temperature change. Hence, the 300 club.

That's in the Fahrenheit scale then. Note that in this article the Celsius scale is used. -100 degrees Fahrenheit equals -73 degrees Celsius and +200 degrees Fahrenheit equals +93 degrees Celsius.

Click where it says (map)...it's like the first 3 words of the article. It shows you where it is.
Oymyakon (Russian: Оймяко́н, pronounced /ˈɔɪ.mjɑ.kɔn/, Yakut: Өймөкөөн)) is a village (selo) in Oymyakonsky Ulus of the Sakha Republic, Russia, located along the Indigirka River. Population: 800

Great story. crappy reporting. For Gods sake. you say its the coldest place on earth then don't say what country its in. Sure the geographically smart can guess but his is just another example of the "Generation I'm entitled" (20 -30) who feel it's always someone elses job and screwing up is ok because they were born.

Hey idiot, the second sentance of the damn report says that it's located in Siberia. Now if you are too stupid to know that Siberia is part of Russia then why don't YOU go back to school.

But the coldest place in earth is not in russia. Either will be canada of antartica. I was in saskatchewan, northern part the temp goes -60C frequently. So it will not be hard to get a place below than that. As I have experiance of -60 C. I can tell you it not bad except wind chill.

It is the coldest place on earth that is PERMANENTLY INHABITED. There are alot of people on here who obviously cannot read. Almost every question asked can be answered with the article that is right above where you asked the damn question at.
Generation I'm entitled

Hmm bitter and angry much? It tells you in the first word of the article and where it is, with a map. Maybe it's "Generation: Computers, what?" that needs to learn how to use the technology at their finger tips before getting all flustered and complaining when it's right in front of their face.
And screwing up is ok because they were born... I mean really? Maybe you're angry because you're being forced into early retirement by a younger generation that knows how to use a computer.

For grandpa: It's called a hyperlink, if you click on it, there is more info about that word. It's there to answer the question before you ask it. In the meantime, please remember to take your happy pill before loggin on to the internet.

Ha. "Generation I'm entitled". That's funny. But in some ways true. It's more like, "Generation I don't need to, it does it for me, it's all about me, oh well, unless it affects me". Hense the need to put the "MAP" link, rather than doing what you are paid to do, and actually REPORT. But then again that would require effort in giving all of the details, rather than putting some generic link, "that does it for me".
It's not like everyone knows where Oymyakon is? You didn't say New York or something even remotely common. But even then, the geographic details are still noted.
The population is 800. I had more than that in my high school graduating class. I love little towns like that. But I probably won't be spending my Christmas vacation in Oymyakon, unless I set myself on fire to stay at least slightly warm.
Generation I'm entitled
· 11 months ago
Well, as many other users have pointed out they did in fact report that it's in Oymyakon, Siberia, with in the first two sentences AND they included a map for those who like to complain instead of taking in the contents of the article. "Oymyakon/Ojmjakon/Oimyakon (map) is the coldest permanently inhabited place on earth. Located in Siberia..." I mean what more do you people want?
And it's not "it does it for me" it's called efficiency and time management instead of spelling out needless details for those who are poor readers and need some one to hold their hand.

i'm russian and was born in siberia, -40C was a normal winter day there. schools still open. Why do people live there? Because they have no choice. You are born and raised there then follow in your parents foot steps (in most cases). There are not a lot of opportunities to move. Not enough money.
In general people in russia tend to live in the same city most of their life, often in their parents apartments. Not like in USA where you can get a job in San Diego and move there, then next year get a job in Alaska and move there.
Cold here too.
· 11 months ago
Because it's "HOME". And their not pussies. I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would want to live in SoCal, with wall to wall people, wild fires and all that crime. But that's just me.

people need to pay attention. It says where it is in the 2nd sentence. And if you don't know where Siberia is then I guess the school system failed you too!!!!!

wiki gives the average high temp in July as 72F (22) and the record summer high of 90.7F (33).
That makes for an astonishing difference of 176.4F degrees between record high temp and record low temp.

ok, let me correct 1 thing here, #1 this atricle is about the *COLDEST PERMANENTLY INHABITED* town in the world,,,, yah it may get colder other places, but they are not PERMANENTLY having people live there. and if you would actually SLOW DOWN and read the article, bad reporting of not, it actually does say *WHERE* the town is, siberia is part of russia/eastern europe.

Did you notice how short the men are? Frigid midgets with rigid digits and when they die they become rigid midgets with frigid digits! LOL! I noticed in the second report that the milk froze almost as fast as it came from the cow! They don't have to manufacture ice cream but then who the heck would eat it! And I thought our winters were cold here in Canada!

I am surprised why there are people who want to live in a cold -52C place. Rusia is a big country, can they just move and find a better place to live somewhere? I am curious, how do they live there? What do they do for living? What kind of jobs are available there? Is it worth? Somebody, please help explain it to me.

It was -32F in Chicago yesterday.... and we thought it was COLD :)
note: Russia is actually on two continents Europe and Asia, so everything that is west of the Ural mountains is in Europe the rest is in Asia, thus Siberia is in Asia :) other than that thatnks for sharing this article - i had no problem with it ;)
p.s. to a coment about why people live there? why people live in boonies wisconsin or nebraska or wyoming or any other places? In some countries like china, people don't move around much - they need special permission from the government to do so, so they stay where they are born.

WOW! I live in Arizona, US and i can not imagine cold like this--although i HAVE been in cold weather and snow In New York, and Lebanon....its January right now and about 70 F, thats like 21 C, and in the summers it gets 100 F to 120 F at times (thats like 37 C-48C i think) If someone from Siberia and I had to switch i think we would both be in for a BIG shock!

Yacut is the place where the worlds permafrost mine is, the place where Chrome-Dioptide (Russian Emerald) is mined. Very little english information available on this place where people have lived for a very long time. Very interesting.
