Which is the coldest region of the world?

Siberia is widely recognized as the coldest inhabited region on Earth, particularly its eastern parts like Oymyakon and Verkhoyansk, which frequently record extremely low temperatures. This vast Russian territory experiences an extreme continental climate due to its distance from moderating oceans and high latitude, leading to long, severely cold winters.

• The Arctic Circle is a geographical region encompassing the North Pole, but it's not a single landmass, and specific locations within Siberia often record lower temperatures than other parts of the Arctic.
• Greenland is a large island covered mostly by an ice sheet, making it very cold, but Siberia's continental extremes often surpass it.
• Alaska, while cold, does not generally experience the same record-breaking low temperatures as parts of Siberia.
