If you read carefully you will realize that Oymaykon is the coldest inhabited place on Earth. The coldest temp registered on Earth is by the station Vostok at Antartica – 89. Somewhere in the mountains of Canada is not an inhabited place as far as I know, doesnt ring a bell!

Ha, sorry but Edmonton isn’t even close. Normal temperature for Oymaykon in winter is between -50 to -65 degrees Celsius, and their record is -72,5, which is the worlds coldest temperature ever measured. There is however an unofficial record which is in Canada, somewhere in the mountains of -77,5 degrees, but not in Edmonton.

I assume you’re kidding, right? A quick wikipedia search tells me that the average January high for Edmonton is -7 centigrade, compared to -42 centigrade for Oymyakon. Not much comparison, sorry.
