Russia, Mongolia and the coldest countries in the world

There are many places in the world where the harsh climate makes human habitation very difficult. There are places where the temperature peaks and there are places where the temperature drops to negative numbers.

Canada

Canada topped the list of the coldest countries in the world with an average annual temperature of -7.14 degrees Celsius. This is a large country, stretching across the Americas and occupying half the area of North America. , along with the United States.

Canada is famous for its coniferous forests and vast, vast snowy mountains. Even in warm cities like Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal, the climate is extremely cold in the winter. Snow often covers roads, causing major cities in Canada to use fireplaces and build tunnels for people to travel, avoiding the harsh cold of winter. In the wild mountainous areas, the harsh weather is not inferior to the famous cold regions such as Siberia, Alaska...

If in winter, the temperature of urban areas falls below -15 degrees Celsius, the highlands, forests and mountains can drop below -40 degrees Celsius with intense cold winds. In temperate climates, snow covers the ground for 6 months a year, while in highlands and mountains, snow can be covered all year round. The lowest temperature record in Canada is -61.1 degrees Celsius at Bassano Dam - a dam leading to a glacier in south-central Canada. Winnipeg in the state of Manitoba is also one of the coldest cities in the world, on par with Russia's Moscow.

Russia

Famous for being one of the coldest places all year round, and having the lowest temperature, Russia has an average temperature of -6.32 degrees Celsius, higher than Canada but Siberia has a record low temperature - 67.7 degrees Celsius - lower than Canada's record low temperature.

Russia's geographical position is similar to Canada in that it is located in the northern part of the northern hemisphere. This is the largest country in the world, stretching from Asia to Europe, with the North Pole right next to the North Pole. In Russia, the temperature difference between winter and summer is huge. Autumn and spring are often very short, just like the transition between these two seasons. That is why, despite being the country with the lowest temperature, Russia is still behind Canada in terms of average annual temperature.

During World War II, when Germany invaded Russia, it was the harsh cold of winter that made the Nazis unable to stand it and was defeated by the Russian Red Army. Even a Western European country has an unbearable cold winter, which shows how harsh Russia's climate is. Perhaps because of that, Russians often drink Vodka - a very hot and strong alcohol.

One of the coldest regions of Russia is Siberia. Winter in Siberia lasts up to 9 months and summer only 1 month. The average annual temperature of Siberia is -15 degrees Celsius, with winter temperatures falling around -55 degrees Celsius and average summer temperatures of 5 degrees Celsius. Here recorded a record low temperature down to -67 ,7 degrees Celsius in the town of Oymyakon, although it is believed that it used to have lower temperatures, down to -71.2 degrees Celsius, before the statistics were recorded. Therefore, Siberia is ranked as the place with the second lowest extreme temperature in the world, after Antarctica. That shows that Siberia has even more extreme low temperatures than the Arctic.

Mongolia

Mongolia is located between Russia and China, completely covered by the plateau. Although we often see the image of a country of Mongolia with verdant steppes, the climate in Mongolia is very diverse and there is a big difference between regions because Mongolia is the second largest country in terms of area. 19 worlds.

In the summer, the weather in Mongolia is relatively hot. Some southern regions also have deserts. However, in winter, in the mountains and highlands, the weather drops very deeply. Especially at night, the temperature can be very different from the daytime, even in desert areas. Mongolia's weather is harsher even than Russia's, though not as cold. Because in Mongolia are vast plateaus, making cold winds very scary. Day and night temperature difference is another extreme temperature factor. The temperature in January - Mongolia's coldest month is about -30 degrees Celsius and at night can drop to -40 degrees Celsius. With such cold and harsh weather, Mongolia's population is relatively sparse.

Norway

Norway is located in Northern Europe - the countries with the coldest climate in Europe. Of the Nordic countries, Norway is the coldest, with an average annual temperature of 0.75 degrees Celsius. Among the coldest countries in the world, Norway is already starting to get warmer, with a high mean annual temperature over 0.75 degrees Celsius thanks to the warm summer months, however the coldest place can reach -50 degrees Celsius. This is because Norway has many snowy mountains and glaciers. Temperatures in these areas can be very low in the cold winters. A special thing in Norway is that in the summer, there will be the phenomenon of "white night", which means that the sky is clear 24 hours. This happens because Norway is located in the arctic circle.

Kyrgyz

Located in Central Asia, Kyrgyzstan covers 80% of the Tian Shan snow mountain. Therefore, Kyrgyzstan is also known as the "Switzerland of Central Asia". At 24,400 feet, the Kyrgyz peaks have always been regarded as the coldest places in Central Asia, with temperatures down to -30 degrees Celsius. These snowy mountains are also great places to host sports Extreme sports like skiing, mountain climbing...

Finland

Finland's climate and geography are relatively similar to Norway, but if Norway is famous for its glaciers, Finland is famous for its lakes. In winter, the average temperature is -20 degrees Celsius, in some places down to -50 degrees Celsius. However, summer in Finland is relatively warm, there are even hot waves, with average temperatures. The average is 25 degrees Celsius.

Iceland

Iceland means "land of ice", is an island country located in northwestern Europe. Located on the land of ice and snow true to its name, it was thought that Iceland would be very cold, but Iceland is located on the Atlantic volcanic belt, so it has a huge geothermal source, with volcanoes and hot springs.

Therefore, Iceland has a much more pleasant climate than other Nordic countries such as Finland, Norway, Sweden... And for that same reason, Iceland is also known with a rather beautiful name. mie: "the land of fire and ice".

Sweden

Sweden is another Nordic country in the Top 10 coldest countries in the world, with an average annual temperature of 1.55 degrees Celsius, according to World Bank statistics. Located between Finland and Norway, Sweden is an area stretching vertically, most of the country is plains, highlands and hills. This makes the Swedish climate quite distinct. It can be very cold in the high mountains of the North Pole, but the plains of the South Pole can be warm.

Sweden's record low temperature was -63.4 degrees Celsius, much lower than other Nordic countries, even lower than Canada, just behind Russia's Siberia. However, Sweden's average annual temperature is 1.55 degrees Celsius, making Sweden only 8th on this list.

Tajikistan

Another country in Central Asia that also has a cold climate is Tajikistan. Tajikistan borders Kyrgyzstan - the coldest country in Central Asia, and was once part of the Soviet Union, before the Soviet Union broke up. With such a geographical position, Tajikistan is geographically similar to Kyrgyzstan and has very low temperatures, which can drop to -20 degrees Celsius.

North Korea

If we often see the image of the cold South Korea in movies, then North Korea - which was once a unified country with South Korea - is even colder because it is located in the North. With its geographical location in the northern part of East Asia, bordering northern China and Russia, North Korea has an extremely cold climate. Although the northernmost point is still lower than China and Japan, the southernmost point of North Korea is higher than the two neighboring countries, making North Korea's average annual temperature much lower and less diverse in climate. .
