Do you know where the coldest place on Earth is? Take a look at our top six lowest temperature records to find out!

Here's where you'll find the U.S.'s all-time lowest temperature record, with a minus-80 degrees Fahrenheit (-62.2 C) on January, 23, 1971. Prospect Creek is now largely abandoned, but at the time was hosting oil workers who were building a pipeline.

This was the coldest ever temperature recorded in North America, Snag, Yukon, dropped to a mind-numbing minus-81.0 degrees Fahrenheit (-62.8C) on February 3, 1947.

This city might sound familiar to you, neighboring where a recent record was broken for one of the coldest January days in Russia.

But the Siberian city of Yakutsk, is renowned as one of the coldest in the world for good reason. Temperatures bottomed out at a minus- 83.9 degrees Fahrenheit (-64. 4C) in February 1981, but temperatures barely get above minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit (-30C) throughout winter.

During a British North Greenland Expedition in the 1950s, temperatures at their base, a home-ruled Danish territory technically part of North America, fell to minus-87 degrees fahrenheit (-66.1C).

In second place is a record low of minus-89.8 degrees Fahrenheit (-67.7C), recorded twice in 1892 and again in 1933, making this the lowest ever temperature recorded in Russia. It's also the lowest temperature ever recorded in the Northern Hemisphere and the coldest inhabited towns on Earth.

Taking the official lead, a staggering minus-128.6 degrees Fahrenheit (-89.2C) was recorded on July 21, 1983, by Soviet researchers. The temperature that day only rose as high as minus-88 degrees fahrenheit (-66.7C), but it probably felt comparatively balmy by that point.

We mentioned that the lowest temperature ever recorded on Earth was disputed at minus-138.5 degrees fahrenheit (-94.7C), and that was in East Antarctica during August of 2010.

However it can't hold the official number one spot, because it was recorded via satellite data and not a regular thermometer. So the title still stands with Vostok Station, but either way, neither temperature sounds too appealing.
