Yakutsk, known as the coldest city on Earth, holds the record for the lowest average winter temperatures among major populated areas. It's in eastern Siberia, Russia. Since it's far from the ocean, Yakutsk doesn't get any help moderating its climate and faces brutal winters due to its continental conditions. In wintertime, temperatures often plunge below −40°C and can even approach −50°C when things get really bad.
