This city freezes like ice cream in winter, the temperature reaches -41 degrees, hundreds of people die!

There are many places around the world that are very cold. Due to the cold wave, it has become difficult for people to go out. Sometimes people die due to such cold waves. Dozens of people die every year due to cold in our country. But today we are going to tell you about the coldest city on earth, which completely freezes like ice cream in the month of December.

This month the temperature of this city reaches between -31 degrees to -41 degrees. Also, sunlight is available for only four hours. In this bone-chilling city, ailments like frostbite and hypothermia are ‘almost as common as the common cold’. So it’s no surprise that Yakutsk holds the icy title of the world’s coldest city. Yakutsk, in Siberia, Russia, recorded a record minimum temperature of -64.4 degrees Celsius on February 5, 1891, although it is not even the closest city to the North Pole.

Yakutsk’s harsh winters are said to have a specific cause, including the river valley here. This traps cold air in the center of the valley, causing a high pressure system to develop. This system is commonly known as the Siberian High. According to the BBC report, “This weather pattern brings cold winds from the Arctic region, causing Yakutsk to experience permafrost.

Permafrost means the ground is permanently frozen due to cold temperatures.” The total population of Yakutsk city is 3 lakh 55 thousand. Every year hundreds of people die due to cold here. Not only this, frostbite and hypothermia are very ‘common’ among the people here due to the severe cold. In hypothermia, body heat is completely lost. In such a case, external heat is required. If there is no warmth from outside fire or sun and the body keeps getting cold then death is certain.

In one of her videos, Yakutsk-based YouTuber Kyun Bi explains how she deals with cruel situations. Also how the ‘dense icy smoke’ hid the sun for most of the year. “It’s like a scene from a science fiction movie,” he said. Let us tell you that Kyun’s exposure also affected his nose and cheeks, due to which he had to take vitamin D and iron supplements to keep himself healthy, as the city lacks sunlight. is However, life does not ‘stop’ in Yakutsk despite temperatures reaching -40 degrees Celsius.
