Guest Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 An interesting topic I saw on another forum. It is common belief that the Northern Hemisphere is colder than the South. That is false. The coldest parts of the Southern Hemisphere not counting the arctic regions, are all Ocean. However, of course no one but fish live here. So a fun little game I wanted you to play: try and find the coldest southern hemisphere town on earth. Could be on a mountain, could be in the subpolar regions of South America, you be the judge. Anyways, I found Rio Grande from Argentina to be the coldest annually but Cohayique Alto has the lowest recorded temperature in South American history at -37. I'm sure @Berserker could answer this for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berserker Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Well not counting Antarctica it has to be either Rio Grande, Ushuaia or Puerto Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted March 11, 2019 Administrator Share Posted March 11, 2019 Isn't it somewhere in Chile? My friend went travelling to SA and they made a point of going to one of the coldest places/cities there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ Posted March 11, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted March 11, 2019 Coldest being the annual mean temperature or the record low? Potentially something in Tierra del Fuego I'd guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll bring 2 places La Rinconada in Peru (5000 metres above sea level) Las Cuevas in Mendoza (3400 metres above sea level but more South.) I think they can be brought up in this.

Berserker Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Yeah if it's not on Tierra del Fuego then somewhere in Mendoza near the Andes for sure, places like San Martin de los Andes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Gonzo Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I googled coldest cities in the world... and the only one that was in the Southern Hemisphere (which was the coldest one of all) was in Antarctica. But if we're not including the arctic regions... then I don't know what the answer is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
