Oymyakon
Oymyakon is claimed to be the coldest city in the world, known as the Pole of Cold, and the coldest place on Earth with a permanent population.
The claims regarding Oymyakon's status as one of the coldest locations on Earth are verified by multiple sources. Oymyakon is indeed recognized as the coldest permanently inhabited place on Earth with temperatures reaching extreme lows. Although it is often referred to as the coldest city, Yakutsk is technically more consistently the coldest city due to larger population and urban classification. However, Oymyakon holds the title of 'Pole of Cold' due to its record low temperatures. The village of Oymyakon fits all descriptions in the claims regarding its cold and inhospitable conditions, justifying the claims made about it.

Sources such as 'All That's Interesting' and 'BBC Science Focus' support this.
