Some regions on earth cannot house humans, for they are extremely hot or cold.

The increase in temperatures has been a common topic among humans, especially with the worsening phenomenon of global warming, and most people are concerned about high temperatures. Few talk about the barren areas, completely devoid of humans, where only specific living organisms can survive and adapt to those harsh conditions. But have you ever wondered where the coldest regions on Earth are?

 

**Coldest Regions on Earth**

 

Here are many regions classified as among the coldest locations on Earth, here are the 5 coldest regions:

 

1. **East Antarctic Plateau**

 

Satellite data between 2004 and 2016 revealed that air temperatures in that region can drop to -94 degrees Celsius and researchers say temperatures there may even reach -98 degrees Celsius.

 

2. **Vostok Station in Antarctica**

It is a Russian research station established by the Soviet Union in 1957, and in July 1983, it recorded its lowest temperature of -89.2 degrees Celsius. Additionally, this region is one of the driest areas on Earth, receiving only 20 mm of rainfall annually.

3. **Amundsen-Scott Station in Antarctica**

Located in the South Pole, this station, founded in 1956, is one of the coldest regions on Earth. The area receives 6 months of sunlight and 6 months of dark, with temperatures reaching -82.8 degrees Celsius in 1982 and rising to 12.3 degrees Celsius in 2011.

 

4. **Denali in Alaska, USA**

 

Denali is the highest mountain peak in North America, rising over 6 kilometers above sea level, with an average temperature of about -10 degrees Celsius. Between 1950-1969, temperatures in the area reached -73 degrees Celsius.

 

5. **Klinck Greenland Station**

 

This station is situated on Greenland Island, known as the "Green Land," despite being one of the coldest regions on Earth. Temperatures there reached -69.6 degrees Celsius in December 1991.

 

These regions are also affected by global warming, with ice melting at an increasing rate day by day. This negatively impacts human life and living organisms that have adapted to specific ecosystems to survive. While these regions may seem daunting at first glance and human bodies cannot endure their conditions, they are crucial for maintaining balance on Earth.
