  • From -52ºC is forbidden  going to school, here, because you can be  frozen in 15 minutes at this temperature, no matter the amount or type of clothes that you wear.
  • It doesn't exist water here, but blocks of ice.
  • Population are about 2000 people, mainly they live thanks to cows, so they make milk. Some of them hunt hares or raise reindeers too. But in winter, cows don't make milk and  their udders are covered by special plastic so that they don't freeze.
  • From -60ºC, your breath freezes while going out, you can even hear as the ice cracks.

But the coldest place registered on the earth is in Antartica with -93,2ºC.
