The World's Most Difficult Weather
Humans now live in all of the continents. We are good at using our intelligence to survive in some very difficult places. But there are some places on Earth which are impossible to live in. Here's one of them.
For a long time, people thought that the coldest place on Earth was in Russia. Russia is so big that it is in two continents, Asia and Europe. Scientists measured the temperature of -67.6 °C in the Asian part of Russia in a place called Verkhoyansk in
1885. In 1933, in Oymyakon, about 650 km (400 miles) to the south-east of Verkhoyansk, scientists recorded a temperature of -67.7 °C.
It wasn't until 1957 that scientists found it was actually a bit colder in Antarctica, measuring 73.6 °C that year. The record for the coldest place actually measured by scientists working on the ground comes from 1983. It was the 89.2 °C
measured at the Russian Vostok Research Station in Antarctica.
Scientists working in many countries can now measure temperatures from space using satellites.
They found a temperature of -93.2 °C in 2010 in Antarctica.
Amazingly, people now live in Antarctica throughout the whole year. Thirty countries have got permanent research stations on the continent, so the population there goes from around 1,000 in the coldest months (March to September) to 4,000 in summer (October to February). The people there are all scientists and their support teams.
But when you're booking your next holiday, it's probably best to choose somewhere different to Antarctica (unless, of course, you want to work as a research scientist!), at least in the winter!

Of course you can do that too if you like it I don’t mind I can do that for the kids
