Worldwide,?Siberia?is well-known primarily for its long, harsh?winters, with a January average of ?25 ¡ãC (?13 ¡ãF), as well as its extensive history of use by Russian and Soviet governments as a place for prisons, labor camps, and internal exile.
With temperatures that hover around the -40¡ã Fahrenheit mark for at least three months of the year, Yakutsk in eastern?Siberia?claims the title of coldest city in the world.??
Additionally,?Siberian air is generally?colder?than Arctic air, because unlike Arctic air which forms over the sea ice around the North Pole, Siberian air forms over the?cold?tundra of?Siberia, which does not radiate heat the same way the ice of the Arctic does.?
