Even the Antarctic seemed balmy compared to Saskatchewan's Key Lake on Wednesday.
Environment Canada said Key Lake was the coldest place in the world, with temperatures that dipped to -52.3 C.
Jay Anderson couldn't find any place colder.
"I looked all through Siberia and Greenland and northern Europe and down in Antarctica, and there's just nobody that cold," the Environment Canada meteorologist said in an interview.
Vostok, the Russian base located in the middle of Antarctica, was significantly warmer than Key Lake, at -28 C.
"There was nobody that was even close," Anderson said.
Key Lake, a 570-kilometre flight north of Saskatoon, consists of a uranium mill and a residence for the workers. Only 175 employees were on-site Wednesday, braving the bitter cold.
