7. South America Coldness
In contrast to North America and Eastern Russia, South America might seem like Death Valley. The coldest temperature ever re corded in South America was only -38 degrees fahrenheit in the San Juan province of Argentina. Many people would argue that the southern tip is the coldest place in South America ....
6. Verkhoyansk, Russia
Once again Russia makes our list thanks to extremely harsh subarctic climate. Be sure to pack an ushanka if you decide to come here because most of the land is made up of permafrost or frozen soil. Located in the Sakha, Republic of Russia, you wouldn’t have to travel far to reach the arctic ocean The temperature differences between summer and winter are quite shocking. The town holds the guinnes sworld record for the greatest temperature range that can differ 189 degrees F. How is that even possible. It can reach temperatures of 99 degrees in Summer but has gone as low as -90 degrees in both January and February. You do the math! Despite the drastic changes, about 2,000 call this place home.
5. Brocken Mountain, Germany
This place in Germany is certainly home to some extreme weather conditions. It might not have the record for coldest place on Earth, but it certainly has the capability of continuous, relentless snowstorms that can last months without stopping. Due to its exposed location of storms coming from Scandinavia and high elevation, it has an alpine like climate similar to Alaska or Iceland. Brocken Mountain has the highest precipitation of point in Northern Central Europe, the lowest temperature ever recorded was -18 degrees but take into consideration the surrounding ice and snowstorms this place is capable of, you should try to watch. This photo here, shows snow crystals clinging onto the trees in Brocken mountain, after a snowstorm covered the area in 31 inches of snow.
4. The Coldest Capital
What do you think the coldest capital on earth is? Moscow, Bern, Ottawa? All Wrong! If you guessed Ulaanbaatar located in Mongolia good job! This city is regarded as the coldest capital on earth and suffers from long and unbearable freezing winters! We don’t even think Genghis Khan could have handled temperatures this cold. Just walking on the street with any exposed skin can result in pain. You really wouldn't want to forget a jacket living here. It’s also the largest city on the list with roughly 1.3 million inhabitants which is nearly half the country's population. Due to it’s high elevation, proximity to Siberia and lack of precipitation, it’s a rough place to live nonetheless. Due to a large amount of permafrost soil in Mongolia, it makes building foundations difficult. It’s believed this is why many Mongolians live in houses known as Yurts.
3. Eismitte, Greenland
Located in Central Greenland, this was the site of an expedition that took place during 1930 and 1931. Eismitte in German means central ice and refers to the campsite that was built. The coldest temperature recorded here was -85 degrees F and the warmest only reaching 27 degrees; which is still below freezing. It never seems to get above freezing here even during summer. The record high recorded in the month of July was still only 28 degrees. There’s basically no summer here. Here in this photo you the frigid campsite that was built in 1930. A 45 foot deep pit was built which served as a living quarters for the 7 month long expedition.
2. Plateau Station Antarctica
This is currently an inactive research center at the Antarctic plateau . Construction first began on December 13th 1965 and it was built for solar observation, micro meteorology studies, atmospheric studies and other things. This is the 2nd coldest place on earth and the lowest recorded temperature here was negative 123 degrees F on July 20, 1968. Summers here are obviously short and are always below zero degrees F. The winters are long, frigid and dark, making you wonder why anyone would want to do research here. A scientist there stated that every breath he took outside was painful and you had to worry about freezing your lungs or throat while inhaling.
1.Vostok, Antarctica
This is the coldest place on earth. This was formerly a Soviet research station, very far inland on Antarctica. If anyone could deal with the extreme cold here, we imagine it would be the Russians!. The coldest month in Vostok Antarctica is the month of August, which would normally be the hottest for most people in the Northern Hemisphere! But this is Antarctica! But that doesn’t mean their summers are warm at all. The hottest temperature ever recorded here was in the month of January, reach 10 degrees F in 2002. The record low was an astonishing -128 degrees here. The research station has 4 months of no sunlight during its winter.

Coldest Village on Earth (HD1080p)
คำอธิบาย
A Russian Town Is the World's Coldest Inhabited Place
A Russian town is said to be the coldest inhabited place on Earth.
You think it's cold where you live?
Imagine living in the town of Oymyakon, Russia where normal winter temperatures range in the minus 60s.
Thought to be the coldest inhabited place on Earth, Oymyakon is a village in Russian Siberia housing approximately 500 residents. An observer once recorded the temperature to be -89.8 degrees Fahrenheit on Feb. 6th 1933.
Christopher Burt from Weather Underground says that unofficial temperatures as cold as minus 108 degrees Fahrenheit have been measured in the quaint town.
Oymyakon is surrounded by mountains which means cold air drains down the slopes and is trapped in the valley. There is also only three hours of sunshine around the winter solstice.
Another village in Russia is disputing the title for the coldest inhabited town. Residents in Verkhoyansk, located about 600 miles away from Oymyakon, are claiming that back in 1885, the temperature in their town dropped below that.
However, an ethnographer claims the readings for Verkhoyansk may not have been accurate due to imprecise measurements .

MOST DANGEROUS PLACES TO LIVE IN THE WORLD!!!
Beware now in reverse order, the most dangerous places to live on the planet! You've been warned!
6. Grand Cayman
The Cayman Islands, a British territory situated 150 miles south of Cuba, are best known as a tropical playground for the champagne and caviar set, who come to the islands for pristine Caribbean beaches, world-class diving, and lax banking regulations. Less alluring is the islands' other reputation as hurricane capital of the world. According to the tropical-storm-tracking website hurricanecity.com, Grand Cayman, the largest of the three Cayman isles, is hit or brushed by at least one hurricane every 2.16 years, more than any other locale in the Atlantic basin. Since 1871, 64 storms have battered the low-lying limestone formation, often with catastrophic results.
In 2004, Hurricane Ivan, a Category 5 storm with wind speeds approaching 150 miles per hour, dumped a foot of rain on Grand Cayman. A 10-foot storm surge followed, submerging a quarter of the island. An estimated 70 percent of the island's buildings were destroyed, and its 40,000 inhabitants were left without power or clean water for days.
5 the Ephemeral Isles
The Maldives are such a dangerous place that President Nasheed created a fund for financing the relocation of the entire population. in the not-too-distant future, it is likely to be swallowed whole by rising sea levels. And By Nasheed's reckoning, the people of the Maldives would be well-served to find someplace else—India or Sri Lanka were floated as potential refuges—lest they too become ephemeral.
4) Lake Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo/Rwanda
Lake Kivu, is one of Africa's Great Lakes. Deep below the surface of this lake's 2700 square miles, there are 2.3 trillion cubic feet of methane gas, along with 60 cubic miles of carbon dioxide trapped beneath the lake under the pressure of the water and earth. If released from the depths, these gases could spread a cloud of death over the 2 million Africans who make their home in the Lake Kivu basin.
3) Gonaïves, Haiti
Aside from its coastal location on the Gulf of Gonve, smack-bang in the cyclone-inclined Caribbean, Gonaïves rests on a flood plain prone to washing out when inland rivers swell. Also, Haitians rely on wood as their primary source of fuel, and this has led to massive deforestation of the hillsides surrounding the city. As a result, when the rains come, the hills around Gonaïves melt away and mudslides nearly bury the city.
2) Verkhoyansk, Russia
Verkhoyansk lays claim to the title of coldest city in the world, the so-called Cold Pole. From September to March the city averages fewer than 5 hours of sunlight each
1) Mount Merapi, Indonesia
The 10,000 foot high Fire Mountain, as its name translates to English, has erupted about 60 times in the past five centuries, most recently in 2006. In 1930, more than 1000 people died when Merapi spewed lava over 8 square miles around its base.
Approximately 200,000 villagers reside within 4 miles of the volcano. But Merapi is just one example of Javans tempting fate in the proximity of active volcanoes—it's estimated that 120 million of the island's residents live at the foot of 22 active volcanoes.

Death Valley - Hottest Place In The World
Death Valley, California has re-claimed the title of the hottest place in the world, a record previously held by El Azizia, Libya. The Libyan record high temperature 136 degrees was deemed as being an unreliable measurement and Death Valley's 134 Degrees stands as the hottest temperature ever record on Earth.
