While some places are burning hot, others are freezing cold! The coldest countries are generally found in the polar regions and in high latitudes, where temperatures can plummet to extreme lows. These countries showcase diverse climates within their borders, ranging from subarctic to Arctic conditions, with long, frigid winters and, in some cases, brief summers.
In this gallery, we'll look at the average yearly temperature of the 30 coldest countries in the world, including their lowest ever recorded temperature. Click on to see which nations made the list.
