COLDEST SPOT OF THE WORLD
The Arctic region is covered with snow and ice almost the whole year. The temperature in the middle of the winter can go down to -51 degree celcius. When it gets this cold frost forms on eyebrows and eyelashes. It is colder than inside a freezer. On August 24, 1960, at the U.S.S.R's Vostok station in Antartica the thermometer dropped to -88.3 degree celcius. That is the cooldest day on record. Ice and snow cover Greenland and the tundra of Canada and Alaska most of the year. The Eskimos who lived in those regions wear multiple layers of coats, trousers, and boots made of animal skins for protection against the extreme cold. In this way people are able to survive even in bitterly cold parts of the world.
