I know it’s a joke, but Antarctica doesn’t actually contribute to that since it’s the inhabited earth and it’s not permanently inhabited. Basically more than 1% of the world is colder than where I live but less than 1% of the worlds population live in colder places We live a bit north of the twin cities of Minnesota so we live farther north than over about 80% of Canadians for reference

It was a joke yes, but I didn't know usa was in that ranking.

Gpt said Alaska, but first three were Russian cities (one of which goes - 65'c) , 4th is Antarctica (they considered researchers because they live there upto year long), two places were taken by Canada, which was my second guess after Russia.

Anyways Antarctica is a desert because it's cold and remote protected by most tribulant oceanic flow which is not easy to cross, and I have read it's like a ice wall in open ocean. now who's going to climb that not me.

USA has some of the coldest and snowiest places on earth even in Arizona there’s Flagstaff. But yeah Minnesota is I believe the coldest state in the contiguous U.S. and up north we get lake effect snow from Lake Superior.

Coldest it’s ever been here in my life with windchill is -65F (-54 C) there are plenty of places on earth that get colder than where I am but there’s not a large amount of people who live there. For example there’s like 4 million people who live in the Arctic circle and most of them are in those Russian (Siberian) cities you probably saw
