Greenland gets as low as minus 70 Celsius in the winter that is a very punishing environment usually these temperatures occur a little further north than that of the north ice weather station winds are also very strong in Greenland. Russia can still get very cold down to -68 Celsius on average though Greenland is colder because it lies very close to the north pole the far north of Greenland is 83 degrees north. The north pole can see temperatures as low as -78.5 Celsius.
